Unfortunately, not for me (Gnome 2.30) |
| 9 |
Before and after the above procedure I have |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
gnomevfs-info MyFile.pdf |
| 12 |
still shows |
| 13 |
MIME type : application/pdf |
| 14 |
Default app : wine-extension-pdf.desktop |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I wonder where this 'wine-extension-pdf.desktop' is coming from. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
And Balsa tries to use this when viewing a pdf attachment. |
| 19 |
I'm lost, |
