Feature changed by: James Tan (jatan11) Feature #313376, revision 2 Title: mac like 'open file/url' behaviour - SUSE Studio: Unconfirmed + SUSE Studio: Rejected by James Tan (jatan11) + reject reason: This doesn't seem related to Studio. Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Cameron Blackwood (drkorg) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: What command opens pdfs (it keeps changing)? tiffs? xls? On mac osx: open fred.pdf opens a pdf viewer open http://google.com/ opens the url in a browser etc Linux seems to have xdg-open (found via google and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/264395/linux-equivalent-of- the-mac-os-x-open-command ) which wraps the kde/gnome/whatever commands to do this and is installed on opensuse. Could we get xdg-open aliases to open by default? Being able to go 'open fred.pdf' and have the correct program open up would be great for new users. Open seems to currently be 'not found' and it would seem to make sense to import this feature from osx. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: open whatever.ext gives you: * simplicity for new (and old) users * similar ui experience to osx all for one command line alias. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313376
