I gave it some of my deepest thoughts ;-), and the more I think of this, the more I dislike the hardcoding - and not only because I'm a happy user of f-spot myself. :-)
There is a way to specify preferred applications: go to the system settings -> system information (I'm translating from Italian, I'm not sure if the labels are like this in English) -> preferred applications There I can set "shotwell" as my preferred photo viewer and everything works consequently. So I believe there is no bug here. It's undeniable that the "preferred apps" it's very hard to find, but that's an issue which should be addressed by the system settings application, IMO. Florian, I'm closing this bug as invalid for unity-2d and to mark it as affecting the system settings (opinion). ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #647049 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647049 ** Also affects: gnome-control-center via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647049 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: unity-2d Status: In Progress => Invalid ** Changed in: unity-2d (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/822605 Title: [dash] "View photos" in the dash launches default image viewer instead of shotwell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/822605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
