Since mimeopen is not completely independent (it is actually used by xdg-open as fallback), I don't really like the different usage of the same variable in both tools. I'd suggest using $TERMINAL as in mimeopen (as in the patch above), or using a $TERMCMD or similar in the way that $BROWSER is used. (ranger currently uses $TERMCMD in a way that would be upwoard compatible to the suggested use). > No DE => means no "environment", so not exactly something very supportable to begin with. It is supportable with minimal necessary user configuration (setting $TERMCMD, or $TERMINAL or whatever)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
