Description:
GV used to show up as a possible application to load PDFs particularly on gmail's over FF attachments. Now a days, after gtk+3 newest upgrade (3.20.8-1), such attachments no longer offer GV as an option, and gtk+3 has decided NOT to offer manually browsing for the applications, instead it offers what seem possible candidates from a menu.

That said, I looked into "/usr/share/applications/gv.desktop" and notice the line "Exec=gv" was missing the "%f" argument for gv, so then I changed it to:

Exec=gv %f

Making it recognize and use the file argument. Once I modified that line, FF immediately not only offered GV as a possible application for PDF attachments on gmail, but it also placed it in the 1st 3 more probable options (before getting in the show more options)...

So it seems the argument is a must now.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
gv 3.7.4-3
