GNOME version: 2.9/2.10


Description Jan de Groot 2005-01-08 14:28:35 UTC 
The default applications program included in control-center to set prefered
applications for mail and web don't include support for Evolution 2.0 and the
upcoming 2.2.
The current 2.8.1 version looks for evolution-1.6 while the binary is named
evolution-2.0.
Current CVS for gnome 2.9.x/2.10 also has this problem. I don't think it is wise
to ship gnome 2.10 without evolution 2.0 and 2.2 getting recognized.

It would also be nice to recognize mozilla thunderbird as mailclient
(thunderbird as executable name).
Comment 1 Sebastien Bacher 2005-01-08 14:47:23 UTC 
The CVS has mozilla thunderbird:
	{ N_("Thunderbird"), 			"mozilla-thunderbird",	"mozilla-thunderbird -mail %s",
FALSE, FALSE},

which distribution are you using to get thunderbird for the command name ?


BTW I've fixed the evolution part in the CVS:

2005-01-08  Sebastien Bacher  <seb128@debian.org>

        * gnome-default-applications-properties-structs.c: add evolution-2.0
        and evolution-2.2 to the mailers list (Closes: #163334).
Comment 2 Jan de Groot 2005-01-12 14:59:27 UTC 
Thunderbird 1.0 has "thunderbird" as launcher name when compiled from source.
Some distros ship a customized launcher, archlinux ships with patched upstream
launcher.
