opener
________________________________________________________________________________

Opening files in different applications (based on mime-type or file extension)
can be achieved via an environment variable (SHFM_OPENER) set to the location of
a small external script. If unset, the default for all files is '$EDITOR' (and
if that is unset, 'vi').

The script receives a single argument, the full path to the selected file.
The opener script is also useful on the command-line. The environment variable
is set as follows.

    export SHFM_OPENER=/path/to/script

Example scripts:

    #!/bin/sh -e
    #
    # open file in application based on file extension

    case $1 in
        *.mp3|*.flac|*.wav)
            mpv --no-video "$1"
        ;;

        *.mp4|*.mkv|*.webm)
            mpv "$1"
        ;;

        *.png|*.gif||*.jpg|*.jpe|*.jpeg)
            gimp "$1"
        ;;

        *.html|*.pdf)
            firefox "$1"
        ;;

        # all other files
        *)
            "${EDITOR:=vi}" "$1"
        ;;
    esac


    #!/bin/sh -e
    #
    # open file in application based on mime-type

    mime_type=$(file -bi)

    case $mime_type in
        audio/*)
           mpv --no-video "$1"
        ;;

        video/*)
            mpv "$1"
        ;;

        image/*)
            gimp "$1"
        ;;

        text/html*|application/pdf*)
            firefox "$1"
        ;;

        text/*|)
            "${EDITOR:=vi}" "$1"
        ;;

        *)
            printf 'unknown mime-type %s\n' "$mime_type"
        ;;
    esac
