KDE-Forum.org

OS X has a very useful little application called open

If I go

open somefile.xyz

from the shell, the open app will parse the extension and open somefile.xyz with the associated application. And

open .

will open a directory window. Very useful.

Does anyone know of such an application under kde. I tried to write it myself,
but I am not a KDE programmer. I have made something that sort of works with KRun but there are complications like loosing the prompt.

Simply using

konqueror somefile.xyz

works but opens an unwanted konqueror window.

Any suggestions?

thanks!

Quoted from ""m4ktub""

The command you are looking is 'kfmclient'

Indeed. It works like a charm. Thank you very much!
