Bug#807772: task-xfce-desktop: MIME type for PDFs defaults to GIMP; should be Evince or similar
Package: task-xfce-desktop
Version: 3.31+deb8u1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I have noticed that on installing the XFCE version of Debian, PDF files are
automatically opened in GIMP. Of course, this is easily modified by the user,
but I believe it would improve the out-of-the-box usability of the config and
also save beginners some effort if this curious design decision were changed to
something a little more intuitive. I believe Evince, or something like that,
comes with the default XFCE task. This seems like it would be an easy fix.
Regards
Eirik W Svela
