Re: [Sheflug] MIME types for pdf

[Craig Andrews <nospam [at] fishbot.org.uk>]

This is mine:

Description: Portable Document Format
MIME Type: application/pdf
Suffixes: pdf

Handled by PLUGIN: nppdf.so

If you don't have this plugin, use application, with the following:

acroread %s

I don't know why they chose %s to mean 'filename' :)

Life would be so much easier if we 
could just look at the source code.
