piscou

File previewer. piscou executes a program acording to the file's mimetype and/or filename.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/lucas-mior/piscou
$ cd piscou
$ ./build.sh
$ sudo ./build.sh install

Usage

piscou %piscou-filename% [%piscou-extra0% %piscou-extra1% ...]

Note that you can pass up to 9 arguments to the program after the filename.

Configuration

Edit config.h and recompile. Note that by default, piscou might call programs you don't have installed.

Limitations

All of those are configurable via config.h. The sane defaults are:

• You can pass up to 10 "extra" arguments to piscou.
• You can pass up to 16 arguments to each program.
• Each argument of those 16 can be up to 256 characters long.

Rationale

piscou is intended to be as fast as possible, so you should probably choose previewing programs that have a short startup time.
