Gnus and Preview.app on a Mac

Gnus and Preview.app on a Mac

[Alex Schroeder]

In an old message I saw Lars say, that using ~/.mailcap should do 
the trick. So I tried this:

application/pdf; open %s

When I look at my *Messages* buffer, I see the following:

Displaying open 
/var/folders/tv/tvbc\+bneEXWIKBV8nDtCXE\+\+\+TI/-Tmp-/emm.1878mQ/ZTS_Okt13.pdf...done

Then, nothing happens. When I check the path, I see no emm* 
directory.

alex@Pyrobombus:~$ ls 
/var/folders/tv/tvbc+bneEXWIKBV8nDtCXE+++TI/-Tmp-/
PreviewTemp-6d5jS3/ emacs501/           
docview501/         xcrun_db            

Something is not working correctly. Any ideas?

Cheers
Alex

I just put 

,----
| application/pdf; open %s
`----

into my new ~/.mailcap file and did “M-x mailcap-parse-mailcaps” and it did
works here - taken from http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MimeTypesWithGnus

Now I just would like to use this for all pdf links in emacs, but this
is a different issue.

Thanks for the question.

Cheers,

Rainer

I've gone one step further:

---
application/*; open %s
---

... which works for most of the stuff that OSX recognises.

Good point. Strange that you have never run into the invalid temp 
file directories, though. I'll keep an eye open for further 
occurences.

I had cases, where I had to open the pdf twice, because it gave an error
message at the first try, but I don't remember the eror message.

Cheers,

Rainer
