Title:
  Evince has too high mailcap priority for image/*

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Hello,

  evince is using a priority of 5 in /usr/lib/mime/packages/evince for
  mime-type image/*. This prevents other packages from using a more
  specific mime-type to override this.

  I normally use "display" from the ImageMagick package and I see no
  possibility to make the system use "display" by default for images as
  long as evince is catching everything with the "image/*" entry.

  From the update-mime manpage:

  Mime types of the form "class/*" and even "*/*" are now  acceptable  (they  were  previously  disal‐
  lowed).   When  using "class/*", it is probably a good idea to add a "priority=[1-4]" option so spe‐
  cific rules using the default priority will get chosen first.

  I would suggest using priority=1 for the entry as this places it at
  the bottom of the /etc/mailcap file.
