[Fwd: [trinity-users] xdg-open issue]

Darrell, as our resident XDG/desktop file expert, any ideas on this one? ;-) Tim ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [trinity-users] xdg-open issue From: "Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp" <office(a)klepp.biz> Date: Fri, May 17, 2013 3:30 am To: trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi all! I just came around an anoying xdg issue: $ xdg-open justapdf.pdf This opens a pdf, but with Gimp! I fiddeled around with gimp.desktop without success. I fiddeled around with xdg-mime without success: $ xdg-mime query default application/pdf /opt/trinity/share/applications/kde/kpdf.desktop but it opens gimp. IMO xdg-* is quite broken. :-( Now the only workaround I came up with is setting the environment variabe DE to kde: export DE=kde Then xdg-open uses kfmclient and that calles the kpdf. Now, would it be possibel to let TDE set that variable by default or am I missing a vital point?
