I partially agree with you. I selected "Always Ask" since in some
cases I just want to open a PDF file to have a quick look inside. ;)
Anyway, to overcome this issue I created an entry for PDF mime in my
own personal area:
$HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
where I put this:
application/pdf=evince.desktop
Now all works right.
Thank you very much!!
