<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|

<P>

|
|
|
<B>exo-open</B>
|
|
<DD>is a command line frontend to the
|
|
<B>Xfce Preferred Applications</B>
|
|
framework. It can either be used to open a list of
|
|
<I>url</I>s with the default URL handler or launch the preferred application for a certain category.

<B>exo-open</B>
|
|
either takes a list of URLs and tries to open each of them using the default handler, or, when using the
|
|
<B>--launch</B>
|
|
tries to launch the preferred application for a certain category, optionally passing any number of
|
|
<I>parameter</I>s to the application.

When using the
|
|
<B>--launch</B>
|
|
option and this option is specified as well, the application will be run in the given
|
|
<I>directory</I>. This is primarily useful when running the preferred
|
|
<B>TerminalEmulator</B>
|
|
from another application and you want the command in the terminal window to be run in a specific directory.

<DL COMPACT><DT id="6"><DD>
|

Launch the preferred application for the given
|
|
<I>category</I>
|
|
with the optional
|
|
<I>parameters...</I>, where
|
|
<I>category</I>
|
|
is either
|
|
<B>WebBrowser</B>,
|
|
<B>MailReader</B>,

or

<P>
|

|
|
If you do not specify the
|
|
<B>--launch</B>
|
|
option,
|
|
<B>exo-open</B>
|
|
will open all specified URLs with their preferred URL handlers. Else, if you specify the
|
|
<B>--launch</B>
|
|
option, you can select which preferred application you want to run, and pass additional
|
|
<I>parameters</I>
|
|
to the application (i.e. for
|
|
<B>TerminalEmulator</B>
|
|
you can pass the command line that should be run in the terminal).

<H2>COMPOSING EMAILS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>exo-open</B>
|
|
allows users and developers to open the preferred email composer from the command line by simply invoking
|
|
<B>exo-open mailto:<A HREF="mailto:USER@HOST.TLD">USER@HOST.TLD</A></B>. This will open the composer window with
|
|
<I><A HREF="mailto:USER@HOST.TLD">USER@HOST.TLD</A></I>
|
|
as the recipient. This syntax is supported by all
|
|
<B>MailReader</B>s. In addition the
|
|
<B>MailReader</B>s that ship as part of libexo also support extended mailto:-URIs (but be aware that user-defined mailers do not necessarily support this), which allows you to also specify default values for the subject and the body of the mail, add additional recipients (both Cc: and To:) and attach files to emails. For example
|
|
<I>mailto:<A HREF="mailto:foo@foo.org">foo@foo.org</A>?cc=<A HREF="mailto:bar@bar.org">bar@bar.org</A>&subject=Foo&attach=/foo/bar.txt</I>
|
|
tells the composer to start an email to <A HREF="mailto:foo@foo.org">foo@foo.org</A> and <A HREF="mailto:bar@bar.org">bar@bar.org</A> with Foo in the subject and the file /foo/bar.txt attached to the message.
