I use Debian 6.05 (Squeeze) + XFCE. I had to install `xdg-open' by hand. (i.e., It is not installed during default installation). xdg-open is just a shell script and tries lots of different things based on Desktop Environment. Why should Org re-implement the wheel? When the variable is configurable, why hesitate pluggin in *better* default, even if it be not-installed. Can Org really do all this? ---------------- - kde-open "$1" - kfmclient openURL "$1" - kfmclient exec "$1" ---------------- - gvfs-open "$1" - gnome-open "$1" ---------------- - exo-open "$1" ---------------- - Whatever is registered with xdg-mime registry ---------------- - run-mailcap --action=view "$file" - mimeopen -n "$file" - sensible-browser ----------------
