Description Ian Collier 2012-11-08 15:20:20 UTC
The current version of nautilus will not list xpdf among the applications available to open a PDF file with (and worse, it won't let you manually specify a command to run).

It turns out that it requires the application's .desktop file to specify that the command takes an argument, for instance:

Exec=xpdf %f

So it's probably worth putting that in, unless this is considered a bug in nautilus.
