Hi,

are there any plas to implement xdg-open feature along with old
"hardcode" style ?

Not all people likes to use xpdf or firefox, switching to xdg-open
would be a great enchancement.

Cheers.

It has been discussed, but there are other styles too.  E.g. the switcher 
in F8 is not using xdg-open to choose a browser/html viewer.

So it will be added as a choice, but probably not above firefox in the 
priority order.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

I've do some exports, 

	export R_BROWSER="$(type -p xdg-open)"
	export R_PDFVIEWER="$(type -p xdg-open)"

i just wonder hot this will work.
