We could and should fix that by manually specifying mime prefs
in /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/applications/mimeapps.list

and possibly provide a defaults.list for legacy apps not supporting
mimeapps.list (akin to fedora's/gnome's
default /usr/share/applications/defaults.list).

It's nice that kde "just works' and gets things right, but shoe-horning
other toolkits is (and will be) more work.

That sounds likely - I hadn't thought of FF overriding KDE settings.  All that 
remains is to find the setting, which so far I haven't managed to do.

that would likely be Firefox calling Evince and can be configured in
Firefox Preferences or about:config, I forget which.

If I open a file Okular is used.  If I open an embedded pdf, that is, from a 
web link, I believe it is Evince that opens it - it's certainly not okular.  
I've checked SystemSettings, and on the embedded tab it tells me that they 
will be opened by okularpoppler.  Something seems very wrong.

Yeah, it must be.  I was surprised too.

Thanks for your help, Rex.

in kde, to set your mime preferences (ie, to set default apps):
systemsettings , [advanced] tab -> File Associations,

look application/pdf, and rank your app preferences there.

Adobe must be doing some black magic, because okular should be preferred by
default.

Konqueror uses Adobe Reader rather than Okular...

2009-04-02 Thread Linuxguy123
Yesterday I installed Adobe Reader because I needed to fill out an
interactive PDF form.

Today when I view a PDF in Konqueror it is using Adobe Reader rather
than Okular.   I want Konqueror to use Okular, not Adobe Reader.  If I
open a PDF in Dolphin, it uses Okular.

How do I set Konqueror to use Okular rather than Adobe Reader ?

Thanks
