I think a viewer application should be the default for all files basically because I view content *much* more often than edit it. However there should be an easy way to switch from the viewer application to another one that allows editing. I have added '-view' parameter to OpenOffice.org 2.0 beta .desktop files and now OOo opens files read-only. Yet editing mode is just one click away. I think it supports my way of working better than before. But OOo is heavy, it would be so nice to be able to use Evince as a lightweight viewer for OOo, MS Word and PPT files as well. The OOo document rendering core should be much lighter if you could separate it from the rest of the GUI. Of course distinguishing between viewer and editing application in more general case (eog vs. gimp) is more difficult problem and has implications all over the place. -- Tommi Komulainen tommi komulainen iki fi GPG 1024D/68388EE6 6FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6
