Solved Opening pdf files
-
Probably another silly question I know, but, I have my default pdf viewer set to qpdfview, but vivaldi insists on opening pdf file in gimp.
My question is where does vivaldi look to establish my default pdf viewer?
-
Just for completeness:
$ xdg-mime default qpdfview.desktop application/pdf $ xdg-mime query default application/pdf qpdfview.desktop_text -
For linux, it uses
xdg-open. I think that this is super annoying, but I suppose that we have to deal with it until either mime types are implemented by vivaldi or the chromium developers change this (which I do not expect them to). -
@andym48 Can you tell what's shown in shell with:
xdg-mime query default application/pdf -
You have it!
$ xdg-mime query default application/pdf gimp.desktop -
@andym48 I hope this solves it:
xdg-mime default qpdfview.desktop application/pdf -
Just for completeness:
$ xdg-mime default qpdfview.desktop application/pdf $ xdg-mime query default application/pdf qpdfview.desktop_text -
PS - thanks

@andym48 You are welcome.
