Modifying Extensions.cfg File

Hi.

I mainly read epubs on my PB360, mostly with FBreader. I'm using svenni's extensions.cfg file to make FBreader my default reader when opening a book. Oh, except I ALWAYS forget when I go to open a library book and it can't open in FBreader. Why I don't remember that FBreader can't open DRM'd library books I'll never know. But, that's another story...

My problem is with PDF files, whether they are mine or the library's DRM'd ones. With the extensions.cfg file ("hack"?), pdfviewer is set up to be the default. Well, IMHO, Adobe PDF reader does a better job than pdfviewer in reading [reflowed] PDF novels, which are essentially text-based.

So, I went rummaging in the extensions.cfg file and found this line:

pdf:@PDF_file:1:pdfviewer.app,AdobeViewer.app:ICON _PDF

If I reverse the two, and make the line read like this...

pdf:@PDF_file:1:AdobeViewer.app,pdfviewer.app:ICON _PDF

...will that then make Adobe my default program for PDF files - without changing anything else?

It seems logical to me and I'm pretty sure it'll work, but, then again, I'm not really a programmer...and I sure don't want to muck about in the extensions.cfg and trash my reader!

Any thoughts, suggestions or agreements will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Marilyn
