I have always used MC as my commandline filemanager and really like it. However, since Fedora 21, when opening a PDF file it always shows an error that it cannot open "/usr/bin/dolphin" which is understandable, because by default gnome uses a different file manager (Nautilus I think).
I haven't used MC for ages, but can you try simply changing the preferences for what MC uses to open PDF files? MC may have defaulted for using a KDE client, instead of something else.
Some things palm off opening files to some other file handler, such as gnome-open, or xdg-open (the latter is less biased towards a particular desktop), which check the file to see what it is, then open it with an appropriate default program. If MC does that, it may be that you need to configure /that/ handler instead of MC.
Actually, MC doesn't show anything in "Command / Edit extension file" where I would expect PDF files to be specified, as far as I can see they are not. Still, MC tries to open /usr/bin/dolphin, which I haven't installed and don't want to install.
I checked out xdg-mime (thanks poma) and it shows xpdf as executable (which *is* installed):
[gbonnema@mahatma ~]$ xdg-mime query default application/pdf xpdf.desktop
So I was wondering, could the pdf extention be hidden in a regular expression in such a way that I don't recognize it as being pdf? I have no idea why mc wants to load /usr/bin/dolphin.
Kind regards, Guus.
