Rails - May 2007 - Problems rendering templates for different mime-types

Hi list,

I''ve got a little problem with rendering different mime-types. For
example, I
would like to append ".pdf" to my URL to generate a PDF. Appending
".pdf" to
the url tells rails which part of the respond_to block will be executes. So, 
if I append ".pdf", it''ll run the format.pdf part and if
nothing is appended,
it''ll run the format.html part. 

But obviously this doens''t tell rails wich template it should render.
Whenever
I register a new template handler for a mime-type (in my case:
".report" =>
ActionView::Base::register_template_handler :report, Acts::Reportable::View) 
rails tries to render that new template instead of the 
standard .rhtml-template.

For example, when I create a new report-template for an existing action in an 
existing controller (i.e. the action "show" for my 
controller "PeopleController"), rails try to render the
.report-template
instead of the .rhtml Template whenenver I call the 
address "http://localhost:3000/people".

What''s the idea behind this? Shouldn''t the .rhtml View be the
default (as
rails is mainly a web-framework)? How can I tell rails which template it 
should render by default?

Regards,
Timo

I really wonder if nobody else has this problem? I''ve got this problem
with
different plugins, registering all their own mime_type_handler. Before I open 
a bug report, I would like to know, if at least someone got this working and 
it''s just me or if there''s really a bug/misbehaviour.
