rebhana: Maemo doesn't seem to use /etc/gnome/defaults.list and I want to be able to port this back to the old N8x0 tablets...

Also, /usr/bin/dbus-switchboard-shim looks like it is supposed to do what you're looking for with the osso PDF reader...

ruskie: I have figured out how to get mailto: working. Just add it to the .desktop file along with the other protocols. Next version will have all the protocols listed...

I see.

Also, /usr/bin/dbus-switchboard-shim looks like it is supposed to do what you're looking for with the osso PDF reader...
In the above edited post I've written down how I finally did it with dbus-send. Is that OK or is it essential to use dbus-switchboard-shim instead?

Do you agree that osso pdf reader should be there for those who don't have evince?

Any comments on my trouble with x-dvi and mimeinfo.cache (also in the edits to the corresponding post)?

Looking at /usr/bin/dbus-switchboard-shim
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#ugly hack to allow dbus switchboard to 'sink' to a hildon/dbus app
run-standalone.sh $1&
sleep $2
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=$3 $4 $5 string:"$6"
the number of parameters does not look compatible with the MediaPlayer entry:
Code:
MediaPlayer,cli,dbus-switchboard-shim com.nokia.osso_media_server /com/nokia/osso_media_server com.nokia.osso_media_server.video.play_media %params%

Since one of the newest version of dbus-switchboard, there's a change in the camera app. After you shoot a photo, there's a bottom icon you can press and opens the photos default application - but after dbus-switchboard the photo gets opened in the browser.
Also the application manager opens photos (jpgs) in the browser instead of the photos application.
<br />
This could be either a feature or a bug
I prefer the old association to hildon-image-viewer, though. Hope that can be restored.

EDIT: I tried to associate jpg files with this xref:
Code:
dbus-switchboard-shim com.nokia.image_viewer /com/nokia/image_viewer com.nokia.image_viewer.mime_open %params%
trying the various types of parameters, but images don't get opened.

According to my previous post, this would not work unless you have corrected dbus-switchboard-shim to take only 4 parameters. Is this the problem?

Yes, thanks Rebhana, the problem was that one.
Now I associated jpg files with
Code:
dbus-switchboard-shim image-viewer 0 com.nokia.image_viewer /com/nokia/image_viewer com.nokia.image_viewer.mime_open %params%
and it works - jpgs get opened by image_viewer both from file manager and from the photo application.

Hm, in my case photos still open in the photos applications, even without your fix!?

In my defaults listing, I have image/jpeg associated with hildon-image-viewer.desktop. Have you changed all your defaults to dbus-switchboard?

I would be very pleased if someone could help me with my problem.

I'm trying to associate '.abw' files with Easy Debian Abiword. I already created '.abw' xref and added 'debbie abiword' under handlers, but association doesn't work. Obviously something is missing in my steps!? On the other hand association between Abiword and '.doc' files works well.

I hope that is not so difficult to resolve, because my linux knowledge is quite limited.

kolos: Does dbus-switchboard start when you tap on an .abw file? If it does, do you get a yellow banner saying that no handler was found? If so, what does the yellow banner say?

The ultimate debugging tool is to open a terminal, and enter:

dbus-switchboard.py

...then try to open the file, and post the output from the terminal here, everything after "dbus-switchboard started".
