[Bug 574342] Re: GIMP set as default pdf viewer

 

This bug is still present in Arch Linux. Since Gimp has been installed, both Firefox and Thunderbird open PDFs with Gimp instead of Okular.
Furthermore, editing /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache only helped temporarily.

Title:
  GIMP set as default pdf viewer

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  After installing GIMP on Lucid, GIMP became the default application to
  open PDF files, instead of evince. While GIMP can open PDF files, this
  surely is not what most people want. Please fix this.

  May be related to debian bug #525077, but I am not sure.

  In any case, /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache contains
  application/pdf=gimp.desktop;evince.desktop;
