Especially if using ~glib-2.18.2 right now. It has some MIME ordering fixes (though I'd expect lack of the fixes causing different problems than this) (In reply to comment #2) > Can you please try with glib-2.18.3 (bumped just now)? Still not getting the .18.3 from portage: [ebuild U ] dev-libs/glib-2.18.2 [2.18.1] USE="fam -debug -doc -hardened (-selinux) -xattr" 0 kB Do I need to unmask that? Just to confirm, I have completely obliterated my Epiphany profile in an attempt to fix this, and it had no effect. So it can not be the browser keeping stale settings.

Sorry, I meant 2.18.2 - the upgrade you are being offered Upgraded, cleared the profile. I'm sorry to report it still stubbornly opens PDFs in Gimp, not evince. I think for me it stubbornly only offers to save or "Save as" the file actually that must have been a bad MIME association from the server side. Now opening another PDF it opens it with... GIMP-2.6. This PDF support in gimp looks cool, but... In short, this seems easily reproducable, and therefore can be investigated by anyone Didn't have my association fixed yet, so nautilus was opening with gimp as well (apparently the system default then), but after fixing that, epiphany still opens with system default, not user default - so I think it just doesn't use the proper API (or the current API properly) and doesn't consider with user overrides properly I just bumped 2.24.1 and this looks fixed, could you guys confirm ? I still get GIMP open a PDF with 2.24.1-r10. Hum actually I can also reproduce the other way around if I set gimp as my default pdf viewer, epiphany will insist on opening pdfs with evince. Mart is probably spot on with his analysis of the problem. Maybe this is related to: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498913 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539117 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402892 epiphany-2.24.2.1-r10, glib-2.18.3 - same problem, Epiphany keeps opening pdf with GIMP instead of Evince, though GIMP is completely removed from "Open With" applications list. I think this behaviour is related: Evolution opens pdf's in the Gimp when I double click on them, however when I right click on a pdf, I only get the one option "open in document viewer". If I unistall the Gimp, pdf association works fine, until I reinstall the gimp again. dev-libs/glib-2.18.4-r1 mail-client/evolution-2.24.5 media-gfx/gimp-2.6.6 gnome-base/gnome-2.24.1 taking the pdf out of /usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop seems to make no difference. it was finely fixed for me after editing: 1) ~/.recently-used.xbel (removing all entrys that had both pdf as type and gimp add app) 2) /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache: application/pdf=gimp.desktop;evince.desktop; (changed into:) application/pdf=evince.desktop 3) /usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop: (removed application/pdf from) MimeType=application/postscript;application/pdf;image/bmp;image/g3fax;image/gif;image/x-fits;image/pcx;image/x-portable-anymap;image/x-portable-bitmap;image/x-portable-graymap;image/x-portable-pixmap;image/x-psd;image/x-sgi;image/x-tga;image/x-xbitmap;image/x-xwindowdump;image/x-xcf;image/x-compressed-xcf;image/tiff;image/jpeg;image/x-psd;image/png;image/x-icon;image/x-xpixmap;image/svg+xml; I updated ~x86 on Friday (most of gnome 2.26, including evince) and still seeing the same behaviour. (pdf's open by default in the gimp, and not evince). (In reply to comment #15) > it was finely fixed for me after editing: You're awesome! I just edited your "step 2)" /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache but I swapped the order instead of removing the gimp: application/pdf=evince.desktop;gimp.desktop; And now evolution opens pdf's in evince by default. I haven't tried epiphany. Thanks! It seems to me that a further problem with the file association is that it is not possible to configure priorities in associations without revdep-rebuild resetting them to default each time it is run. For example: I want my default choice for opening any application/pdf to be evince. But since I have also acroread installed each time I run revdep-rebuild acroread is set to default. Very annoying. Is there any fix available? thanks So, I've looked into this. update-desktop-database just walks the directories in dirent order (maybe alphabetical?) and prepends the desktop file onto the list for each mime type. This means that gimp ends up ahead of evince, since it's later in the alphabet. This will happen every time update-desktop-database happens, which should be any time any package installing a .desktop file is installed. Obviously, we can fix this instance by changing the prepend to an append, but that's a complete hack for this particular instance, and may break other things. Another possible solution is to optionally remove the claimed pdf support from gimp; that may not be a good solution either. Probably the .desktop format needs some indication that some app should be preferred to all others. If update-desktop... is the culprit, then, maybe adding: application/pdf=evince.desktop to /usr/share/applications/defaults.list would workaround the problem (that file has to start by "[Default Applications]"), the final /usr/share/applications/defaults.list should look like: [Default Applications] application/pdf=evince.desktop If this works for this and bug 289561 (in this case the line to add would be "inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop"), I think that the way to go would be to add an echo for adding those line in affected ebuilds (nautilus and evince), since gnomies will likely want to get evince and nautilus as default; while /usr/share/applications/defaults.list could be owned by desktop-file-utils that would simply provide that file with "[Default Applications]" line This issue also occurs with, e.g. text/plain, and possibly other mime types. For example if you go to http://code.djangoproject.com/ on any of their pages there is a "Plain Text" link at the bottom. When I click on the link Epiphany presents me with a dialog that asks explicitly if I want to open the page with "gedit". When I choose to open it with gedit, epiphany then precedes to open the file in OpenOffice Writer. *** Bug 258559 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I've got a similar problem for a while now - with nautilus. Opening files with the default application usually works perfectly on my system. Also the applications listed as alternatives in the context menu are as expected. What I observed is that the problem is related to the URI with which the file is tried to be opened. When using a "normal" file location (e.g. "/mnt/some/dir/a.pdf") nautilus opens the file correctly with Adobe Reader. When using a URI with a different protocol (e.g. "smb://host/some/dir/a.pdf") the default is suddenly GIMP instead of Adobe Reader. The context menu does not even list Adobe Reader as alternative. The strange thing is that the properties dialogue for the file lists the correct applications under the "Open with" tab, even the default is correctly Adobe Reader. (I have a network storage which is mounted directly under "/mnt/", but can also be accessed by nautilus using "smb://..."). I just checked and verified that nautilus produces the same wrong behaviour with "sftp://...". However, I don't have these provlems with epiphany or other applications (as far as I've checked). - glib-2.22.4 - nautilus-2.28.4 - epiphany-2.29.90 - gimp-2.6.8 Can someone reproduce this, maybe with other applications? I just looked into this matter, as it keeps on bugging me. update-desktop-database processes files in their 'natural order' (as listed by `ls -U`). This happens to put evince before gimp for me. As modern filesystems tend to store their directories as B+-Trees, this isn't even easy to work around. So imho. update-desktop-database should put some order into this. Opinions? (In reply to comment #23) I don't think this is a problem of update-desktop-database. I tried opening the same PDF with the same application (nautilus) under the same environment (no changes to mime information/database/whatever). The _only_ difference was the URI used to open the file (/normal/file/path vs. smb://server/path)! Using the former nautilus opens the PDF with acroread, using the latter would open it with GIMP. Apparently there are different methods querying the mime database information depending on the protocol (as indicated by the used URI). I have no idea how this is implemented in nautilus or gnome in general, so it would be nice if someone having knowledge in this area could look into this. Anyone able to reproduce this "URI" dependent behaviour??? Cheers, Marco This is solved in 2.30 |
