Subject: [gentoo-user] {SOLVED} Midnight Commander now viewing images with /usr/bin/xdg-open?!?!
Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2024 13:30:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <MTAwMDAwMi53ZG5lc2RheQ.1719941429@quikprotect> (raw)
Midnight Commander has been using geeqie for viewing images on my
system. I did a world update last night. Apparently image-viewing
responsibility has been handed over to /usr/bin/xdg-open which, on my
system, uses mupdf for jpg+jpeg and google-chrome-stable for png+gif
images. WTF!?!?!?
/bin/sh /usr/bin/xdg-open /home/waltdnes/downloads/stranded.jpg
...invokes...
mupdf /home/waltdnes/downloads/stranded.jpg
/bin/sh /usr/bin/xdg-open /home/waltdnes/covidy/4bellcurve.png
...invokes...
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable /home/waltdnes/covidy/4bellcurve.png
There's a right way, there's a wrong way, and then there's my way, I
inserted the following stanza in ~/.config/mc.ext.ini before any mention
of image formats...
###Start custom stuff###
[image]
Regex=\.(gif|jpeg|jpg|png|jng|mng|tiff|xbm|xpm|ico|svg|pgm|ppm|netpbm)$
RegexIgnoreCase=true
Open=/usr/bin/geeqie %p
View=/usr/bin/geeqie %p
#####End custom stuff###
...and mc is now back to using geeqie for image display,
