[Pyobjc-dev] quick command-line browser utility

[David E. <epp...@ic...>]

Maybe someone other than me will find this useful.  I got frustrated 
with the inability to drag typeless and creatorless files onto my 
browser; this command line utility was the result.  PyObjC makes this 
sort of thing almost trivial to implement.  Of course it would be nicer 
if it didn't delay 3 seconds before taking effect...


#! /usr/bin/env python

# browse file*: open file(s) in browser

# Browser hardcoded to Camino because many others can't open files...

import AppKit
import sys

w = AppKit.NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace()
for file in sys.argv[1:]:
   w.openFile_withApplication_(file, "Camino")
