Re: [Bug 1200295] Re: evince cannot open attachment that is not PDF

 

In Trusty evince opens the attachments almost all right.
In a sample PDF with attachments, I get:
- .pdf attachment is opened Ok
- .avi attachment is opened Ok
- .jpg attempts to do the right thing (open with 'eog'), but fails with 
"Failed to execute child process 'eog' (Permission denied)" error message.
For convenience, I attach a public link to the sample PDF with attachments:

Thanks,
Andrey

Title:
  evince cannot open attachment that is not PDF

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a pdf file with a few files attached. Some of the attachments
  are PDFs, some are not. The PDF attachments are opened Ok, whereas
  non-PDF attachments cannot be opened as, seemingly, evince tries to
  open them by itself instead of calling appropriate application.
