Hey, I thought I had reported that earlier, but it seems not. Basically, exo-open doesn't remember file associations, even if open works fine in thunar. When trying to exo-open a pdf file, it'll show the “Open with” dialog, even though double clicking in thunar works fine. This is using exo 0.5.2 and Thunar 1.1.0, with libxfce4ui and libxfce4util 4.7.1 If you need more specific information, please ask.
I think Thunar is at fault here, because exo-open only spawns the file manager; it basically runs "Thunar <path to pdf file>". Could you confirm this has the same effect?

I wasn't sure if Thunar was calling exo-open (or an associated library call) when double clicking on a file, or if it was the opposite (exo-open calling thunar). So yeah, in the latter case the problem lies in thunar :)
