Anyway, it would be great if you could get the script to launch directly from the browser, but it seems that the MIME system does not support command line arguments.

Weird! Perhaps this changed in PR1.2 (I did a complete reflash). Well, not so important I suppose...

Cheers,
Jan

Just checked on my backup: it was the same in PR1.1.1.

Anyway, many thanks to you guys from Imperial for this very useful piece of information! That could be useful for many other things!

I also tried setting Xournal as the default application for PDFs in the same way, but that does not seem to work. That is a shame, because Xournal is great for writing comments directly on the PDF.

Re: PDF-Reader no longer able to display mathematical symbols in PR 1.2

qole told me that he is having success in making Easy Debian applications getting launched from the browser directly and that he will have something out soon. That would be phantastic. I found xournal from Easy Debian much more capable than the Maemo version. Also, evince from Easy Debian can display postscript and dvi, etcetc.

Change the application/pdf line in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list to

Code:

application/pdf=hildon-evince.desktop

and run

Code:

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

PDF files should then open in evince. (You may need to reboot.)

Adding also the line

Code:

image/vnd.djvu=hildon-evince.desktop

in defaults.list allows one to open djvu files directly from the browser! (Postscript and dvi however aren't supported (yet?) by qwerty12's evince app.)

It looks like http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...so-pdf-viewer/ contains the source for the working and broken version. Maybe someone who knows what they're doing could compare the source for the two versions to see where the bug is. The changes between the two versions are:

Code:

osso-pdf-viewer (1.8.06-1+0m5) unstable; urgency=low



  * This entry has been added by BIFH queue processor

    Suffix +0m5 added to package revision

Does anyone know if osso-pdf-viewer is developed in the open, e.g. on gitorious, so that individual code changes can be analysed, as that might make it easier?
