Nautilus is needed for that.
But that will not help yet. As xpdf is not registered as a known command.
You need the update-desktop-database tool installed which comes from the
sysutils/desktop-file-utils package. nautilus uses
update-desktop-database.
Then to make it so it works for galeon:
1) Run natilus
2) In the nautilus file browser fine some PDF file and right-click it.
3) Choose "Properties"
4) Click on the "Open With" tab.
5) Select your PDF viewer (maybe evince is there?)
5b) Or click on "Add" and add /usr/pkg/bin/xpdf.
The above worked for me. Once I did that galeon added a "open" button when
I fetch a .pdf file. (This worked even after I closed nautilus.)
I am carbon-copying the nautilus maintainer: Should nautilus also depend
on sysutils/desktop-file-utils package? If it is not installed nautilus
will complain about missing update-desktop-database command and won't
show added command handlers. (When I did install it, I ended up with three
"xpdf" choices -- so nautilus did remember, but just didn't show up until
I did it again.)
As for galeon: should this depend on nautilus? Or should this just have a
MESSAGE. I think a MESSAGE would be good enough.
