Due to personal preference I installed Google-Chrome and configured it as the default web-browser in the KDE config. Most applications respect that, and links are opened in Google-Chrome. (E.g. `xdg-open http://www.google.com`) However, some applications seem to use some other mechanism to open files, and urls. I guess it is some gnome mechanism. In particular "Zotero standalone" [1], a literature management tool that is based on Firefox. [1]: http://www.zotero.org/ When I open a URL in Zotero it is opened in Firefox despite my configuration. What's more, pdfs are opened in GIMP, which is a ridiculous choice. This can be fixed half-way by manually editing `/usr/share/applications/defaults.list` replacing the lines text/html=firefox.desktop;google-chrome.desktop text/xml=firefox.desktop;google-chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop;google-chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop;google-chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/ftp=firefox.desktop;google-chrome.desktop to text/html=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop text/xml=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop x-scheme-handler/ftp=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop and running `update-desktop-database` as root. Or, by editing `~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list` in a similar fashion. Unfortunately, I failed to fix the pdf-viewer issue this way. Now, I realize that Zotero is not within the scope of the openSUSE project. However, the above mime-settings are. What I would ask you to consider is a) To replace the default pdf-viewer by something less arcane than gimp (okular, evince, xpdf, anything...) b) To make the KDE mime settings affect `~/.local/.../mimeapps.list`, or similar, as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Google-Chrome, and Zotero 2. Configure Chrome as default browser, and okular as default pdf-viewer in the KDE settings. 3. Try to open a URL, or pdf in Zotero. Actual Results: opens in firefox or gimp Expected Results: should open in chrome or okular -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
