Hey,
run-mailcap worked for me for years. For a while already, xdg-open
is being pushed, using .desktop files to direct what to do with URIs
and files.
I really don't want this. I don't want .desktop files and I don't
want to have to create underdocumented ini-style configuration just
to get my computer to do again what it always did: use run-mailcap,
which I can configure with simple text files and which continues to
do its job just fine and never needed replacement anyway.
Does anyone know of a trick to just tell xdg-open to get out of the
way?
Sure,
dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/xdg-open.orig --local --rename /usr/bin/xdg-open
ln -s run-mailcap /usr/bin/xdg-open
will work, but that seems a bit intrusive.
Any ideas?
