Jopen is a Unix little program that provides
execution of an action for any kind of file
according to a list of rules. The base
functionality is similar to "Open with" features
from Nautilus, Konqueror, and Windows explorer,
but command line-based. The configuration file has
rules for each file type, file name, or file
content and actions for it. It follows the sieve
anti-spam email rules idea, but for files. It
features Firefox, Nautilus, and Amule integration,
complete freedom to write your own rules (use any
bash command as a condition), updating executables
that are unavailable automatically, Just edit (for
editing a file instead of viewing), the ability to
choose an alternate application, and an interface
program to edit rules.

a simple text file to an XML file with a lot of
