PDFs are not opening with default application

[simonszu]

I am referencing Issue #57 since i got a similar behaviour.

PDFs are opened in Inkscape from nixnote2. This is strange, since the default mime association from $HOME/.config/mimeapps.list is for PDF:

[Added Associations]
application/pdf=okularApplication_pdf.desktop;qpdfview.desktop;pdfmod.desktop;FoxitReader.desktop;foxitreader.desktop;acroread.desktop;

Inkspace isn't even listed here. You mentioned a specific Qt5-Function for opening files in the linked issue, so i checked other Qt Applications like qtfm and Dolphin - a double-click on PDF files in these applications opens them in Okular, which is my system-wide default PDF reader. It's only nixnote2 which has a different behaviour.

I have Version: 2.1.3-2b95eae6 of nixnote2 installed, it is installed via the nixnote2-git package from Arch Linux AUR.

Hi @simonszu
sorry for late answer...
What Nixnote does is calling Qt method QDesktopServices::openUrl with local file path e.g. /home/robert7/.nixnote/db-2/dba/43150.pdf

In my case I have configured "Foxit Viewer" and it seems to work fine...

As the url is opened by Qt ... and the call is not customized... I'm afraid, I can't do anything in Nixnote to modify it. It looks like something specific to your local system...

Example:

So from my viewpoint yout ticket is duplicate of #57
