Hi,

I fixed it upstream, based on your patch with some changes:
- check input file after paths/file:// decoding

Good :-)

- remove decode URLs (perl isn't used on upstream code, but this part
could be adjusted for debian package;)

Note that without decoding it won't be able to handle URLs with spaces and many other non-alphanumeric characters.

Maybe the code could check if perl is available and only then use it. Or perhaps use awk instead? awk is used in other places in xdg-utils.

Another option is to defer to a browser for all URLs with percent-encoded characters.

- test mimeopen first, then run-mailcap as in current upstream code.

I'm thinking that maybe run-mailcap is more appropriate than mimeopen on Debian for people who don't run a desktop environment. It doesn't comply with any freedesktop.org standards but it's standard in Debian.

mimeopen picks strange default apps. For example, if I open a .odp file, it runs evince instead of OpenOffice.org. run-mailcap runs OpenOffice.
