This is QHTPicker. It's a PyQt version of HTPicker by mackstann See his project, it's better: http://incise.org/htpicker.html

1. What's it do?

This is a basic tree-like file browser and launcher. The only thing worth noting about it is that you can set the font/colors, and customize your set of file handlers.

2. Handlers

They come in two parts, the glob and the launcher. When you select a file and double-click it (or press enter), it will attempt to match a handler by running through the list and matching one of the globs.

Here are some globs. .nes .txt LOOKOUTBEHINDYOU.??.

Launchers are the command lines that will be constructed and launched with your selected filename.

Here's a launcher: fceu

With that glob and launcher, you'd see this file: Super Mario Bros 1 [U].nes launched like this: fceu Super Mario Bros 1 [U].nes

3. Security and Implementation Notes

Don't put dumb launchers in. Python's subprocess.Popen is good, but not that good. rm and dd are REALLY BAD launchers, so don't do it.

The config file is stored in your XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory, which is typically ~/.config/. You shouldn't have to manually edit it, since everything is covered in the preferences dialog.
