Re: [Evolution] How do I set evolution to use a particular program when opening e-mail attachments

[John Lauterbach <lauterba bellsouth net>]

Thank you Milan.

Here is what I get:

johnl john-Vostro-3500:~$ gvfs-mime --query application/pdf

Default application for 'application/pdf': pdfstudio9.desktop

Registered applications:

pdfstudio9.desktop

Recommended applications:

pdfstudio9.desktop

johnl john-Vostro-3500:~$

I found that there were some additional pdf applications referring to a particular version of StudioPro.  This morning everything looks okay.

John

        Hi,
Evolution relies on GLib to provide the information about the default
and installed applications, which _I think_ uses a different store for
it. You can try with:
   $ gvfs-mime --query application/pdf
though you won't see the difference now, when you've corrected it (the
gvfs-mime has also a --set option). The returned query should give the
same result as you see in the Evolution's UI.
        Bye,
        Milan
