xdg-open for ADE XL documents

ADE XL allows to include documentation in your designs,
Virtuoso Analog Design Environment XL User Guide ⇒ Ch. 18, Working with Documents
ADE XL uses /usr/bin/xdg-open
(a desktop independent tool for starting default applications associated to file types)
to open included documents (HTML files, CSV, PDF and plain text documents).
However, on Scientific Linux 6.x xdg-open
is not properly configured and by default it opens everything
with firefox
Web browser.
$ xdg-settings --list Known properties: default-web-browser Default web browser
mkdir ~/.local && cd ~/.local mkdir share && cd share mkdir applications && cd applications
touch ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list
As a matter of fact you need to define proper program executables with xdg-mime
and configure xdg-open
to open files with the right default program:
xdg-mime default evince.desktop application/pdf
