I write it as a note for me and if it can helps some other people, | |
it's fine. | |
To change the program used by **xdg-open** for opening some kind of | |
file, it's not that hard. | |
First, check the type of the file: | |
$ xdg-mime query filetype file.pdf | |
application/pdf | |
Then, choose the right tool for handling this type: | |
$ xdg-mime default mupdf.desktop application/pdf | |
Honestly, having firefox opening PDF files with GIMP **IS NOT FUN**. |
