Package: papers
Version: 48.3-1
Severity: normal

Since migrating from Evince to Papers, I keep on having to manually select which app I want to open PDF files, otherwise, they open in Gimp. I never had that problem with Evince.

PS: Btw, the bug-presubj seemingly was copied as-is from the evince packaging. The text needs to state Papers instead of Evince.
