Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible:Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click on a manpage in e. g. Nautilus Actual results: See the troff source in default text tool (gedit as distributed) Expected results: See the manpage in yelp (or other suitable tool) Additional info: One can not use the Nautilus Properties|Open With| Set as Default since the miem-type of a manpage is text (and making e. g., yelp as the default text tool sn't really an option). More info in upstream bug
BTW, the usecase is not really a novice user browsing /usr/share/man/man1, that's not really that common I guess. It's about GUI applications which bundles a manpage and wants a simple Help|Manpage option without the need to specify the tool used view the manpage. I. e., it should be possible to just use 'xdg-open /wherever/my-app.1' and it should just work (tm).
Created attachment 806675 [details] manpage rules that works for me. Attaching some rules which works for me (tm). Here are cave-eats: - More than 30 paths for the different manpages. However, when I try I cannot get anything like *.[0-9].gz to work. (glob rule underspecified?) - The large offset is also inefficient but needed for manpages with a large preamble e.g., the perl pod-generated ones. - I cannot get the obvious attempt to use treematch with something like /man/man*/*.gz to work. Actually, treematch looks broken: freedesktop.xml contains a rule for files named VIDEO_TS.IFO, but these files are not classified as expected (x-content/video-dvd). But use of wildcards in treematch is not really specified either (?)
