It seems that opera is able to read informations in ~/.local/share/applications (desktop file) and ~/.mailcap I have in ~/.mailcap, application/pdf; pdftotext '%s' -; needsterminal And in the download window (ctrl-j), if I right clic on a pdf, open with propose pdftotext. What's strange is that it does not work. Could it be possible that opera has a problem with the needsterminal information. Another strange thing is that there's in the menu the line - false I wonder if there could be a problem with Terminal=false (in desktop file) or test=something (in .mailcap) Another problem. At the beginning I probably made a mistake. I had a .ram file (playlist file containing a .rm url). With my wrong configuration xdg-open file.ram open the file with vi and for a reason I don't know yet, xdg-open file.ram works in a terminal but not without terminal (although I used needs terminal, but it's not opera's problem) The problem is that when I ask opera to open the file with this wrong xdg-open application, opera freeze and the only to close it seems to be kill -9 (the -9 is necessary). Even if I made a mistake forgetting needsterminal somewhere, it would probably be better that opera handles this case without crashing. -- Opera-Linux: https://list.opera.com/mailman/listinfo/opera-linux More lists: https://list.opera.com/mailman/listinfo/ Unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
