expose-file - adds a file to the list "File Exposition" of Tint2 (provided by Starbuntu)

expose-file <file>

The Starbuntu program expose-file allows to expose any file under the icon with the title "File Exposition" on the tint2 taskbar so that it can be quickly accessed. The program is also offered in the context menu of any file under "Open With /Expose File".

After calling up the program with the favoured file as parameter initially a file select box pops up in order to select an appropriate icon. In case of canceling the box the program chooses the mime type icon of the file. In case this one doesn't exist the icon of the "File Exposition" will be chosen.

In the next step you define either manually or by means of the file type specific application shortlist with which special application the file shall be opened. In case of canceling this query the program chooses the default application for this file type.

Finally you can decide under which list identifier the file shall be integrated in the file exposition list.

The entry created in that way in the "File Exposition" can later be modified or deleted after clicking on "Edit".
