all-open - General Address Opener (File, Folder, Web Address) (provided by Starbuntu)

all-open [<address1, ...>]

The Starbuntu program all-open replaces the X Desktop Group program xdg-open, which opens every address (file, folder, web address) with the default application for its address type in case this connection is defined. Such connections between address types and applications can be edited with the Mime Type Editor (File Management).

The program all-open removes the deficit of xdg-open to accept always only one address as parameter. Moreover, it can open even addresses with different address types at one go with their corresponding applications, if necessary with root privileges, and also accepts prepended environment variables. Its hotkey is Super+Return.

If the program gets launched without parameters it presents a form for the desired address(es).

In case the program shall be executed with root privileges you shortly press the Super key when a small white window appears at the beginning. Then the authentication window pops up for receiving the password.

In the file manager ROX-Filer every click on a file launches the program all-open.
