    <p>Traditionally, on Unix systens (and therefore Linux, too), you start applications from the console (and not from a UI). The command line (or console) expects you to enter the name of the application and then the filename (plus some options).</p> <p>This allows to use applications (or commands) in shell scripts.</p> <p>On Windows, there is no real console (the DOS box is just a reminiscence of the dark ages of MS DOS). So the MS developers came up with the idea to have the OS treat anything as a command. If it's not a real command or application, the OS will determine the file type (by extension on Windows and by some header information on Mac). For each file type, there will be an associated application in a look up table.</p> <p>This is why on Windows, it appears that you can enter the name of a file on the console and you will get the application to edit that file.</p> <p>If you want a quick way to fix this in the Unix console, create a script called "open" or "o" and use the file command with the option --mime to identify the file type. You can then use a <a href="http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/212/bourne_bash_shell_scripts_case_statement/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">case statement</a> to launch your favorite editor.</p> <p>As for the error about "mailcap rules": There is a file called "mailcap" on Unix where you can define abstract "commands" (open, edit, view, print) for file types. See the <a href="http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl4_mailcap.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mailcap man page</a>.</p>

    1. COThank you for info. I am very curious why on linux there are no easy solution, because as I know on Mac there simply is "open" executable, which you can call if you want to force "application selection window". For example: open some_file.jpg Is there really no solution like that one on mac?

    2. CODebian seems to have something in the mime package; but the main reason is that Unix users know all their applications and they are used to type "command options", so there was never a need to have something more comfortable. Also, how could you send options to the app?

    3. COScript will be executed in client and I don't know that software each of them are using. That is main problem. Could you explain your last question? I didn't get it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
