Hi, Fabrizio. I don't think the 'PdfBrowserName' should appear in '~/kicad_common' with evince by default. At least, because there may be no 'evince' installed at all. I think, the best solution for the default pdf viewer should be native for OS . For Linux it should be something like [.pdf -> MIME -> default app]. Just like the other linux apps is doing. Alexander.
