I looked at the code in 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.16 and this was fixed in recoll 1.14. My apologies, I had not noticed that this bug report was about 1.13 at the time, always thinking about the latest. I can definitely confirm it by looking at the code. I think that modifying the code for such an old version is not a good idea. I have two possible workarounds which will work as long as xdg-utils is installed. I guess that adding a depend on xdg-utils would be for free as it is most probably installed with any desktop. - Either remove /usr/share/recoll/filters/xdg-open after install - Or patch the sampleconf/mimeview file (which get installed to /usr/local/share/recoll/examples).
