Hi,

I open my PDF files with firejail, sandboxed.

I have a script like this:

#!/bin/bash
firejail pdfview $1 &

and I changed the properties of PDF files to open with that as default.

On the "Open with..." list, I get "firejail" as the name to choose.

My problem comes when I want to have another script that does something a bit different, and I also get "firejail" on the list.

Is there any way of renaming those entries to something more meaningful?

thnx

Does it work? If firejail allows you to choose pdfview, accept it.

(This ought to bring on the bash scripters!)

ok, I messed up a little bit.

I made this yesterday, and it wasn't like I remembered.

Some part of it was true, though.

Let's start again:

I want to open PDFs with 2 different scripts. This, for some reason, DOESN'T WORK.

BUT, if I copy the contents of the script into the "Open with..." dialog, at the bottom, it works.

(zathura works, qpfview doesn't)

"firejail zathura" ----> works in the dialog, but in the script it doesn't. I tried "firejail zathura $1" but that didn't work either.

I need 1 of 2 possible solutions:

1) make a bash script work (this generates an entry on the list with the name of the script)

or

2) change the name of "firejail" on the list to something else


sorry for the 1st post mess. oopsy

It is normally possible to change "open with" applications. How to do so can vary depending on the specific platform.

Relax bro. sudo ??? (terminal) Then edit the file properties

SOLVED!

OK, found it.

Everytime I make an association, it makes a .desktop file in .local/share/applications

I can edit the "Name" property there...and it's done.
