Can't open image with xdg-open

Running xdg-mime query default image/png correctly reports vimiv.desktop but when I run xdg-open foo.png instead of opening the image the library is opened. This might be related to #70.

I can reproduce this, what happens is that due to the --start-from-desktop flag the working directory is changed to the desktop_start_dir setting and the relative path given in the command line is no longer correct. It therefore doesn't find the image and falls back to opening the library, as it has no more images to show.

This can be solved by:

  • Removing the --start-from-desktop from the vimiv.desktop file
  • Setting desktop_start_dir to . in the vimivrc

Awesome. Thank you!
