            3.1 directoryOpenCommand

            + +

            +By default instantlauncher assumes that Gnome desktop environment is +installed and uses Nautilus file manager: +

            3.3 fileAssociations

            +
            +

            +Allows to map file name/extension using regular expression pattern +matching to corresponding application. +

            -  command: vlc {file}

            +
            +
            command
            Command to execute to open given file. Special variable +{file} will point to user chosen file using absolute file +path. +
            + +
            fileRegex
            Regular expression that must match the file. +
            +

            3.4 navigationRootPath

            +Root directory from where to start navigation. +

            + +

            +This parameter is user specific! In my case instantlauncher by default +pointed this to my home directory. But it can be any directory user +chooses. +

            + +

            +I think good use-case is to create special directory to be used for +instantlauncher root. This special root directory can in turn contain +symlinks to various places user wants to visit often. Instantlauncher +will follow symlinks as if they were directories. +
