Description
Under Linux with a dev_5_1 build if I attach a local document to an image, then right-click the file in the meta data to view, or use Open With from the Attachments tab, then the Opening activity just hangs in the activities window and never opens my chosen application. I have tried this under both Oracle's JDK 6 and OpenJDK 7 with the same result.
Furthermore, in https://www.openmicroscopy.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7435 a similar issue is reported for 5.0.0.

- Milestone changed from Unscheduled to 5.0.1
J-m: do you already have another Linux target or is 5.0.1 ok for now?
comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by jburel

- Milestone changed from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2
Problem has been fixed in a private branch (https://github.com/jburel/openmicroscopy/tree/open-with-dev_5_0). I was hoping to have that work for 5.0.0 but partners (@sbesson, @mporter, @imunro-x) did not have the time to adjust their code.
Pushing to 5.0.2

For testing, note that I also see the issue if I try to view an import log.

Is there something specific one has to do to hit this problem? Tested with OpenJDK 1.7 on Debian/XFCE, no problem.

Demonstrated to Dominik. View doesn't work, but download does.

Looks like the 'Open' functionality was (deliberately?) removed within [Commit 2b05e30](https://github.com/jburel/openmicroscopy/commit/2b05e30398f959456851609581670464b1de40ff) by @jburel, just the 'Open' button is still left. But as the 'Download' button actually does what you'd expect from 'Open', I suggest to just remove the 'Open' button, any objections?

Remove the view button.

It applies everywhere an external viewer is used, e.g., view import log after import.

Do we want to keep a ticket or card somewhere for,
- the other external-viewer things in Linux that also fail?
- restoring the view functionality for file attachments once the more general problem is addressed?
?

It will also happen for the "view" button in script dialog.

Reopened. Going to fix the "view" button in script and import dialog, too.

I observe that my Insight log has entries like,
It may be relevant that I don't have much GNOME or other heavyweight desktop environment installed.
