Re: Sometimes Evince. Sometimes Adobe Reader

When I open a local PDF doc via Nautilus or from the desktop, it opens
in Adobe Reader - as it should.

When I open a PDF via Nautilus that happens to be on a Samba share, it
opens in Evince - which is shouldn't.

In both cases, the 'Opens with' tab from Properties is identical and
indicates that Adobe Reader should be used.

Any ideas how this can be fixed?

And what might the more general problem be?


I think the problem is that Adobe Reader doesn't use gnome-vfs which
is required to open a Samba share (if it is not mounted). So, if it is
a local file, it uses Acrobat, otherwise Evince.

Are you saying that this is a bug?

It certainly doesn't do what it should be doing - the Properties
dialogue clearly indicates that Adobe Reader should be used. There is no
mention of Evince at all.
