Anyway, it would be great if you could get the script to launch directly from the browser, but it seems that the MIME system does not support command line arguments.
Weird! Perhaps this changed in PR1.2 (I did a complete reflash). Well, not so important I suppose...

Cheers,

Just checked on my backup: it was the same in PR1.1.1.

Anyway, many thanks to you guys from Imperial for this very useful piece of information! That could be useful for many other things!

I also tried setting Xournal as the default application for PDFs in the same way, but that does not seem to work. That is a shame, because Xournal is great for writing comments directly on the PDF.

qole told me that he is having success in making Easy Debian applications getting launched from the browser directly and that he will have something out soon. That would be phantastic. I found xournal from Easy Debian much more capable than the Maemo version. Also, evince from Easy Debian can display postscript and dvi, etcetc.

PDF files should then open in evince. (You may need to reboot.)
Adding also the line
Code:
image/vnd.djvu=hildon-evince.desktop
in defaults.list allows one to open djvu files directly from the browser! (Postscript and dvi however aren't supported (yet?) by qwerty12's evince app.)

It looks like http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...so-pdf-viewer/ contains the source for the working and broken version. Maybe someone who knows what they're doing could compare the source for the two versions to see where the bug is. The changes between the two versions are:
Code:
osso-pdf-viewer (1.8.06-1+0m5) unstable; urgency=low

  * This entry has been added by BIFH queue processor
    Suffix +0m5 added to package revision

 -- Aravind Venkata <ext-aravind.taduturi@nokia.com>  Thu, 11 Feb 2010 11:57:54 +0200

osso-pdf-viewer (1.8.06-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixes: NB#145129 PDF reader crashes always when opening attached PDF file

 -- Maske Amish <amish.maske@nokia.com>  Tue, 09 Feb 2010 2:54:00 +0530

osso-pdf-viewer (1.7.53-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixes:

 -- Maske Amish <amish.maske@nokia.com>  Mon, 28 Dec 2009 2:39:00 +0530

osso-pdf-viewer (1.7.52-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixes: NB#142095 PDF Reader.Context-sensitive menu options are too small

 -- Maske Amish <amish.maske@nokia.com>  Tue, 22 Dec 2009 11:35:00 +0530

osso-pdf-viewer (1.7.48-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixes: NB#122966 PDF Viewer, Unnecessary colons within Details dialog
  * Fixes: NB#131156 "unable to save" information banner is missing

 -- Maske Amish <amish.maske@nokia.com>  Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:10:00 +0530
Does anyone know if osso-pdf-viewer is developed in the open, e.g. on gitorious, so that individual code changes can be analysed, as that might make it easier?
