The core plugin "open with default app" adds the following two items to the context menu, when you right-click an attachment link

It could be quite useful to add such context menu items to this plugin as well, e.g. to open images in an image app.

On macOS, the initial / is missing when copying the absolute path to the clipboard

Does the flatpak version need special permissions to trigger the plugin action? It doesn't want to work, I tried to give explicit permissions already.

I deleted the old command and added a new one, but it no longer works, nothing happens. Is there anything special that I have to do?

Platform:
Ubuntu 21.10 LTS 64bit
Obsidian 0.12.19

The Obsidian application needs to launched with the working directory set to root '/' for this plugin to work correctly because it attempts to open external programs with a root relative path (i.e. no initial /). If you launch from your home directory it will attempt to open with with a root relative link and thus yield an invalid path e.g. /home/matt/home/matt/notes/interesting.md

Current workaround compatible with most DE: one can specify the working directory for the menu entry

➜  ~ more .local/share/applications/menulibre-notes.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.1
Type=Application
Name=Notes
Comment=obsidian notes
Icon=applications-other
Exec=/home/matt/Dropbox/tools/Obsidian
Path=/
Actions=
Categories=Office;
StartupNotify=true
➜  ~ 

I have multiple vaults. Setting up in one of the vaults and opening with Emeditor is normal, but there is no response in the other vaults.
Note: I copied the configuration file directly to other vaults, and you can see that Emeditor has been configured in the setting interface.

Thank you.

Environment: macOS, Obsidian v0.12.12

Can't work well in macOS, I think it may be caused by a problem of getting file path. (Have Verified)

Clipboard result: Users/ludwigws/OneDrive/MyNote/202109010915.md

        getAbsolutePathOfFile(file) {
            //@ts-ignore
            const path = obsidian.normalizePath(`${this.app.vault.adapter.basePath}/${file.path}`);
           // debug: this.app.vault.adapter.basePath = "/Users/ludwigws/OneDrive/MyNote", file.path = "202109010933 Obsidian open with app.md"
          // path = ""Users/ludwigws/OneDrive/MyNote/202109010933 Obsidian open with app.md"


          // I fixed it temporarily by adding this
           if (!path.startsWith("/")) {
	       path = "/" + path;
           }
            if (obsidian.Platform.isDesktopApp && navigator.platform === "Win32") {
                return path.replace(/\//g, "\\");
            }
            return path;
        }

Is there a way to pass the current line number (or even better, selection) in the arguments of the command ?

If I'm trying to launch /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/MacVim, what gets invoked is:

open -a "/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/MacVim" "/Users/huyz/Documents/Vaults/Vault/Obsidian playground.md" --args ""

The extra blank argument "" makes an empty window be opened too.

So I guess this is a bug and blank arguments should not be passed at all.

thanks for this tool,
small issue:

assuming linux ubuntu 22 machine,
assuming I want to open an image with program eog
assuming the image is named awesome image.png

The command sent will be:
eog <path>/awesome image.png

which will fail.
the program should \ the whitespace
the program should eog <path>/awesome\ image.png

I try to use your plugin on macos. I didn't understand how to use it. What should I write in the commnad/path section to make it work?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/start-process?view=powershell-7.2

This is a shell command to open any file with the default program in windows.
That would be a good default to have.

Can someone help me try to get this to work on macOS.
I want to be able to edit some docs with MacVim.

So I have the path set as /opt/homebrew/bin/mvim but nothing happens and there are no errors in the Web console either.

For the mac app "CleanShot X", the generated command ID is open-with:open-file-with-cleanshot x
Notice the space right before the x.

Unfortunately this means that I cannot create a shortcut with https://github.com/esm7/obsidian-vimrc-support#executing-obsidian-commands-with-obcommand because spaces aren't allowed.

Can spaces be converted to -? Thanks

Very useful plug-in.
but，Specifying to open with typora often fails (only the Typora program can be opened, but the corresponding markdown file cannot be opened at the same time)
