In nautilus when I try to open a pdf with Adobe Reader, I cannot find Adobe Reader in open with.... In dolphin there's not such problem.



How can I add Adobe Reader Link to "Open With..." list in nautilus?



I use nautilus in KDE environment.

the installed program have a .desktop that have to be edited to be listed in nautilus's "open with list"

to do that,you first have to locate that file



ls /usr/share/applications/`


you should be able to guess the .desktop associated with your program.

let's say i want to add vlc to the list, i edit the desktop file with



sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop


and change Exec=vlc to Exec=vlc %u



in your case you edit:



sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/AdobeReader.desktop


and change Exec=AdobeReader to Exec=AdobeReader %u
