Hi all,
I have a problem with gnome-open and default applications.
I would like to use firefox as my default browser as well as viewer
for html files. To do this i have chosen firefox in the "preferred
applications" dialogue, as well as changed default application to open
text/html to firefox thru nautilus. Things work as expected most of
the time.
However when I issued "gnome-open some-simple-html.html" epiphany is
used to open the file instead. This problem doesn't show up in
nautilus. When I double click the file in nautilus firefox is launched
as expected. The problem however is not specific to text/html. For
example, I have Miro and Deluge installed. Miro also handles
application/x-bittorrent and for some reasons it became the default
application for gnome-open to handle bittorrent files.
I reckon this problem is inherited directly from gnome_url_show(),
which is what makes this problem annoying, because some gnome apps
apparently use gnome_url_show() to open files.
I'm using Debian if it matters.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
