why does Gimp open up PDFs downloaded with Chromium?
Hello,
I downloaded a PDF with Chromium. When I click on it in the download bar below, Gimp opens up. But if I go to the download folder and double click the file, the Document Viewer opens up. How come Gimp is opening the file when I click on the PDF in Chromium?

Possibly the default to open PDF is GIMP.
To check and change. In file manager right click on a PDF. Note The application at the top. It should be Document viewer. If it is GIMP that is your problem.
To change to Document viewer Select Open with other application. Select Document viewer from list. Make sure check box to "remember this" at bottom is checked.

GSimpson,
The default viewer within Nautilus is Document Viewer. It is in Chromium that the default PDF opener is Gimp.

I use the PDF viewer installed by default in Mint13 MATE: Document Viewer 1.2.0. How do modify your code to use "Document Viewer" ?adrian1 wrote:Hi,

Re: why does Gimp open up PDFs downloaded with Chromium?
you can try this.
in chromium go to settings > under the hood tab there is a button that say clear auto opening settings.
try clicking that see if it resets to doc viewer.

atril is the MATE Document Viewer.
@kc1di: This has nothing to do with auto opening.
