I haven't used MC for ages, but can you try simply changing the preferences for what MC uses to open PDF files? MC may have defaulted for using a KDE client, instead of something else. Some things palm off opening files to some other file handler, such as gnome-open, or xdg-open (the latter is less biased towards a particular desktop), which check the file to see what it is, then open it with an appropriate default program. If MC does that, it may be that you need to configure /that/ handler instead of MC. Or, maybe the solution is to reconfigure MC to use that handler to deal with PDF files. Usually, with something more graphical than MC, you can right click on a particular file, then choose what it's opened with, and also have some option for changing the default application for what will open the same type of file. I don't know if MC works that way now, nor whether simply right clicking on some PDF file through your desktop, instead of MC, will let you set default preferences that will apply to MC, as well. Somewhere in there, one of those suggestions ought to do the trick, but write back to the list if you're still stuck. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.17.7-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 04:08:31 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
