Gimp is a very poor choice for viewing PDFs. I have evince installed, but evince is listed after gimp in my /etc/mailcap file. I tried to fix this by using the /etc/mailcap.order file but this failed: $ grep application/pdf /etc/mailcap application/pdf; gimp-2.10 %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" application/pdf; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" $ cat /etc/mailcap.order ############################################################################### # # Mailcap.order: This file allows a system-wide override of MIME program # preferences.
