You're right that the mimeopen method doesnt work for okular, although I wonder if this is a matter of getting the command right. However, setting okular as default application in nautilus in fedora-24-dvm, and then regenerating the DispVM template DOES work, at least for me. Can you check again with the xpdf/evince switch, and then add okular to the mix? One thing I have noticed - for some reason it's best to restart nautilus in the qube, before opening a file in a dispVM. Andrew - can you test also and report back? unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
