Comment 4 nucleo 2009-12-27 02:19:08 UTC
With mc-extensions.patch I still get errors when trying to open some files in KDE (I have test it on KDE LiveCD).
For doc, odp, odt command office not found, for jpg command eog not found, for djvu command djview not found.

Comment 5 nucleo 2009-12-27 02:39:13 UTC
At least odt, jpg, djvu are registered file associations in KDE system settings  on KDE LiveCD.
They are could be opened in Dolphin in kword, gwenview and okular.

Comment 6 Jindrich Novy 2010-03-19 13:11:09 UTC
Please try now. mc-4.7.1 should use xdg-open wherever possible. Soit should run correct bindings in KDE as well. If not, xdg-open needs to be fixed.

Comment 7 nucleo 2011-11-06 01:10:57 UTC
I have problems with some file types in mc-4.8.0-2.fc16.
mc tries to open jpg and .png in eog which is not installed in KDE.
djvu tries to open in djview which is also not installed.

Comment 8 nucleo 2011-11-08 14:15:04 UTC
Works fine for me after I changed eog and djview to xdg-open.

Comment 9 Jindrich Novy 2011-11-09 06:24:59 UTC
It is now fixed in rawhide.

Comment 10 nucleo 2011-11-27 15:14:15 UTC
For viewing video files information there was line in "include/video" in mc.ext:

View=%view{ascii} mplayer -identify -vo null -ao null -frames 0 %f 2>&1 | sed -n '/^ID_/p'

But now it is missing there, so it is impossible to view information for video files. In "include/audio" this line still present.

Comment 11 nucleo 2012-03-21 02:50:28 UTC
djview, eog again used instead of xdg-open in mc-4.8.2-1.fc16

Comment 20 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-17 01:13:19 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 21 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 02:41:51 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
