[digikam] [Bug 355552] New: Use the 1st item in "Open with..." if digiKam does not have embedded support for "preview"

            Bug ID: 355552
           Summary: Use the 1st item in "Open with..." if digiKam does not
                    have embedded support for "preview"
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.14.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums View
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

It is possible to define own file name extensions to show such files in the
album view. However, when the user clicks on the "preview", a message appears
saying "error loading file" and a blank area is displayed.

It would be great if - for unsupported file types - digiKam calls an external
program defined as the first item in the list of associated applications in
"Open with ..." right-click menu.

(In my case, I care about PDFs, but I believe the behaviour should be general
for any unsupported file type.)

Reproducible: Always

In Image menu, you can see an option : Open With Default Application (META+F4)

This is exactly what's you need... Just put pdf as new type mime to support as
image type in setup dialog page.

I just tested and it's work well with 4.14.0.

Thanks for your support Gilles, it is really faster to open the unsupported
file types at least via a keyboard shortcut...

However, it is not exactly the bug I reported - it would be user friendlier if
digiKam runs such an external app automatically as a fall back when the preview
fails (and remains in the Thumbnail view layout).

Anyway, if you feel it is not how it should work, keep the report as "RESOLVED"
and "WON'T FIX".
