Obviously, I didn't make myself clear enough. This bug report is NOT about the plugin. Period. It is NOT about what reader I use, either. It is about the fact that I choose "Open the PDF filetype with reader XY" along with "use this application for that filetype, without prompting" but still get prompted every time I want to open a PDF file. The "entry" I was talking about is the setting "PDF" => "chosen action." When removing all references to PDF, the entry is re-created (as I chose that option by saying "use this application for that filetype, without prompting") but ignored. I still get prompted. And I don't want to be prompted. And I must not be prompted according to my setting. Best regards, André
