feat(feh): deassociate with xcf, pdf, dvi, txt
See commit message.
- opening *.xcf (Gimp vectorial image) is mentioned in feh’s manpage
but I have been unable to open any such file;
What is the problem in this case? According to the man page, it seems to use ImageMagick for .xcf when it is enabled by --conversion-timeout. There are many possibilities:
- ImageMagick stopped supporting
.xcfafter the corresponding part of the man page offehwas written. In this case, we can drop.xcffrom the list. - ImageMagick needs a special configuration to open
.xcf. In this case, some users may set it up, so I'm not sure if we should simply drop it. - ImageMagick works, but
fehcannot use the result of ImageMagick for some reason. In this case, maybe we should ask the upstreamfehabout whether this is intentional.
- opening *.ps, *.pdf, *.dvi (document files) works through ImageMagick,
but only when the document contains a single page;
+ PDF and DVI are primarily used for possibly-multipage textual
documents, PDF viewers are widely available and they are much better
for this purpose than an image viewer that first converts documents
to bitmaps; it’s unlikely that a user wants to use feh for these.
Is it? The images that will be embedded in PDFs are usually generated as single-page PDFs. I always create plots in academic papers as single-page PDFs. Although I'm not a user of feh, I'm not sure if we can easily conclude that no users use feh to preview images in the form of single-page PDFs.
I have not tested the behavior, but I'm inclined to agree with @akinomyoga here, unless some more feedback confirming that deassociating these would be the right thing to do.
Closing due to lack of feedback.
