I suggest to change the current logic to a more versatile: if xdg-utils are present on the system ( http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/ , all modern Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu / Debian, Fedora, RHEL etc.) try to use xdg-open to open the file. Otherwise fallback on the traditional associations scheme. xdg-open uses mime-type associations set by the user to start the appropriate application, therefore, one might use his desktop controls to centrally manage file associations at will." enhancement closed major 4.8.4 mc-core master fixed gotar@… ip1024@… merged committed-master
