Open-With behaviour [message #1210979]

Hi all,

in a RCP application the default behaviour to open a file with unknown content (PDF for example) is to open it with the default editor, the inplace editor in my case.

I want to change these behaviour so that the system editor is used for unknown content files (as with 'Open-With/System editor') but can't find a way to do it.

I tried something like

IEditorRegistry editorRegistry = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getEditorRegistry();
editorRegistry.setDefaultEditor("pdf", IEditorRegistry.SYSTEM_EXTERNAL_EDITOR_ID);

but it doesn't work maybe because pdf is unknown content.

Could you please help me out with it / give me a direction, a idea?

thanks,
aleks
