Opening PDFs from library
Hi,
my issue is the following: I am using the 2.0beta and store my attachments with webdav on a server. Everything works fine, except for the fact that when double clicking on a pdf from my library zotero asks me where I want to save the file. However, pressing the "show file"-button opens the local zotero directory in which the pdf is correctly stored, so why would I need to save it again?
thanks for your help!

However, you can tell Zotero to bypass Firefox in opening PDF files. Look up the hidden preference "extensions.zotero.launchNonNativeFiles" and set it to true. See description on linked page.
If you're seeing different behavior (with the above pref off) in Zotero from what you get on web pages in Firefox, there might be a problem in your mimetypes.rdf file.
