Re: Use of xdg-open to open files

[Robert Weiner]

Yes, you can change the setting to do that.  We have planned to do something like that but have not gotten to it in the default setting.  Just make your regular _expression_ match all the file types you want xdg-open to handle.

When I try to open a PDF file, the 'hpath:external-display-alist-x' try to open xpdf or acroread, but I don't use any of these viewers. I wonder if 'xdg-open' can be used and let the system decide which application to use.

Cheers.
