KDEconnect - browse device action opens "zathura"?!

presianbg

Hi,

Haven't used the "browse device" functionality for a while, but today I needed to... but it's broken for me.
Instead opening the file browser (nemo) it opens "zathura" (not sure what is it.

Haven't able to solve it with quick 5 minute online re-search and figured out someone here will have the answer 🙂

Cheers,
PY

Uninstalling the zathura package solved the issue.

Did you ever find out what it was, and who might have installed it on your computer?

WetGeek In the windows world it would not be unusual for a pdf viewer to be bundled into any downloadable application...doubtful in linux. this is in the repo but I've never heard of it. conversely, you ever flatpak list lately? flatpaks pull in some strange things, too.

I use zathura for viewing pdf files.

Yeah, I haven't spent any significant time in Windows for a very long time, and I'd forgotten what that's like. Not much chance of that in a curated Linux repository, though. That doesn't mean it couldn't have been downloaded unknowingly from a web site somewhere, or as you say, a flatpak.

what?

FAb7D I see your point. Occam's would say he installed Zathura then forgot he installed it. I can't be the only one here who does that regularly🙂

Yes, I did installed it in hopes to have better performance with opening HUGE pdf files and then forgot it.
Looks like zathura is messing up with the xdg definitions and overtakes the action from the KDEconnect.
