Albert - actually I am failing to see how 'fall back to pdf when the file type
cannot be inferred" makes no sense'. To me the "makes no sense part" is not
obvious - could you elaborate please? Especially because it kind of works
already.

> cp foo.pdf foo && okular foo # THIS WORKS
v> cp foo.pdf foo.mp9 && okular foo.mp9 # THIS WORKS
> cp foo.pdf foo.mp3 && okular foo.mp3 # THIS FAILS

>From just a functional point of view it makes a lot of sense to me in the
instance of some browsers/websites/applications generating PDF files with a
wrong extension. This saves the user one extra step but perhaps I missed some
disadvantages of this approach.

Just my 2 cents, Cheers.
