Yes, this is EXACTLY why there should be some tool for managing this: it would understand both the local defaults.list and the system-wide one, and be able to update the local one (and, if run as root, perhaps the system wide one--or maybe it could be integrated with . I can hardly believe that no one has created such a useful thing already as part of the standard Gnome desktop. I looked around through my Ubuntu repositories and found assoGiate which looks like pretty much what I was looking for. If you have that in your repository you should give it a try... nice! You can edit the application/pdf mime type and create new aliases for it such as application/acrobat; that should solve your problem. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
