Sorry to ask something perhaps really dumb, but when I click on some links, eg a pdf file, I get prompted to save the file. Is it possible for me to transfer the file to some external program (say /usr/bin/epdfview) to open after download? Does this have to programmed in somewhere? Where? As a dpi? If the latter, where are the instructions?
I think that the DPI interface is perhaps overly complicated for the common case where we just want to save the data to a temporary file and point some external program at it. Perhaps the config could specify a map from MIME types to helper functions, eg:
application/pdf = epdfview %s
Seconded. The DPI itself is just an external program anyway, so we may as well cut out the middleman.
I, for one, am at least open to this in principle, for what that's worth.
