Open attachment (pdf) in viewer (rather than browser)

delenca
Hi,
I am testing the latest version of Zotero (1.5-sync3.2) and I am liking it.
One feature request: when I double-click on an attached file (pdf) I would like to open it in my associated viewer rather than in the browser. It would be nice to have the option to enable/disable that.
Thanks,
-Alex

    Change the hidden pref extensions.zotero.launchNonNativeFiles to true in about:config.

    Wow. That was an astonishingly quick reply. Thank you, that works perfectly.

    I am starting to get pretty excited about this latest incarnation of Zotero.
    I have a better feel now on how to use it for my purposes (biomedical researcher collection citations + pdfs of articles from pubmed, etc), with the better handling of pdf attachments and the Word plug-in.

    This is great work and good luck as you push towards a release.
