IMO, there should be some command in dired to open a file with an
external program. The `!' command is not appropriate here, cause it
blocks emacs till the command finishes. I have this code in my .emacs
for that (and bound it to `e' in dired-mode-map):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun th-dired-find-file-externally (arg)
"Open file or directory with an external application.
If ARG is given use `xdg-open', else query for an app."
(interactive "P")
(let ((file (dired-get-file-for-visit)))
(start-process "dired-external"
nil
(if arg
"xdg-open"
(completing-read "Command: "
th-external-command-list))
file)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
th-external-command-list is a list of all executables in PATH, which I
use in several places. I think that could be taken out. A default
value with the appropriate external app taken from mailcap could be
used instead.
