How to set mupdf-gl as a default application with a fixed resolution
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I am using Linux Mint Tara (xfce). I would like to use mupdf-gl as a default application for viewing pdf files and automatically set 150 dpi as the resolution, i.e. when I double click a pdf file, it should be opened in mupdf-gl with the resolution set to 150 dpi. Currently it opens in mupdf-gl with the default resolution of 72 dpi. The resolution can be set on the command line as follows: mupdf-gl -r 150 FileToOpen.pdf but I don't know how to set it for files which are to be opened using the mouse.
Note that since mupdf-gl is not available in the repositories, I have downloaded the source files from mupdf.com and built it on my machine.

I right clicked on a pdf file in the file manager (thunar) -> open with another application -> use a custom command (in this case /usr/bin/mupdf-gl) and checked the box "use as default for this kind of file"

@SalilS.Kulkarni you can edit the custom command given in thunar to include the-r 150option itself and then check the box.

It sounds like you can simply make a little wrapper script that applies your desired arguments:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/mupdf-gl -r 150 "$@"
and then save this code somewhere on the system (say to /usr/bin/my-mupdf), make it executable (chmod +x /usr/bin/my-mupdf), and then select the path to this wrapper script from the GUI (/usr/bin/my-mupdf instead of /usr/bin/mupdf-gl). This way the GUI calls your wrapper script which in turn replaces itself with mupdf-gl with the appropriate arguments.
