I'm not really a perl programmer, but I hope it's all ok anyway.
I didn't check the patch yet, but I probably prefer this syntax: --exec-mime="xv -nolimits; jpg|jpeg, mplayer -fs %n; mov|mpg|mpeg" Or better yet instead of your option, add this one: --use-mailcap that just parses and uses existing ~/.mailcap and ~/.mime.types. P.S. I would like you to keep the strict indentation (one TAB only, never spaces) in the code, otherwise I will need to change it manually.
