I never cared for Ocular.
I use Okular [sic] all the time.
I could use Ocular as well, but in the past I have found the odd
situation where Ocular doesn't display the pdf contents properly and
Acrobat does, so I have tended to use Acrobat, and until now I have
never had any issues with the Linux implementation. Having said this
though, I think up until F36 Acrobat was installed via an installed
repository designed for Fedora, it wasn't until F36 that the recommended
method for installing Acrobat was Snap, but I also had no situation
under F36 where I had a need to open a pdf mail attachment, hence don't
know whether the issue I have now has always been there with the snap
implementation or has only become an issue with F37.
As I mentioned in my reply to Todd, the Ocular association definition
specifies a %U parameter to pass in the name and location of the file to
display, but that specification doesn't work with Acrobat, so at the
moment I don't know whether Acrobat requires a different parameter and
if so whether that parameter is supported under Fedora.
The other thing I found strange is, I have Thunderbird Daily configured
to prompt for download locations, and when I click on the pdf attachment
in the mail I get prompted to open it in the default app or save it. In
the default app drop down in that dialogue, when the default app was
Ocular, if I select "Other" to select a different app, Acrobat does not
appear in the list of selectable apps even though it is specified the
app list in the pdf application association. So I'm not even sure at the
moment if the snap implementation has been done properly or whether
there is some other package that I'm missing.
regards,
Steve
