"open" button

I have checked the forum but have not been able to find anything regarding a button to open a file with the windows default file handler. Is there one? I did see this post Command: Open file using extensions or mime-types to choose program but was wanting to click on the "Open" button and the file would open according to the default file handler in Windows settings. Or is this not realistic? I'm not a coder or very tech savy in this area!

The open command in Opus:

Default file handler in Windows settings:

Many thanks for all ideas.

Welcome to the world's best file manager and its forum!

Double click on the file in a file display of a lister and the program will open based on its extension and the default file handler in Windows - or am I missing something.

Hi,

Thanks for the response!

Sorry I missed out the part where I select multiple files to open! As in the screenshot if I select multiple files to open is there a button I can use to open them directly without having to use the context menu?

FileType open

FileType ACTION=shellex will be most like double-clicking the file in File Explorer.

FileType ACTION=dblclk will be most like double-clicking the file in Opus (including any Opus-specific overrides on the double-click action).

(FileType ACTION=open or FileType open will often do the same thing, but not always. "Open" is not always the default verb.)

Thanks for the response. Sorry for the amateur question, but those commands I make a button and then attach one of those commands to it?

It wasn't working but then just realised I was still in customise mode. In working mode it does exactly as I hoped. thanks so much for your assistance. Directory Opus really is awesome!
