[Nautilus-list] command suggestion: "start"

[Dan Nicolaescu <dann godzilla ICS UCI EDU>]

Hi!

There is one feature that I think it would be nice for Nautilus to
provide: 

a command line command (let's call it start) that would do the
equivalent of double-clicking on an icon in the file manager.  For
example:

start FILE.ps 

would run gv FILE.ps

or 

start FILE.pdf 

would run xpdf FILE.pdf

or 

start DIRNAME

would open a Nautilus window for that directory. 

This way from the command line you'd never have to remember all the
commands to open any file... and this feature it's probably very easy
to implement...


(yes for the people that know MS-Windows provides this start command,
and IMVHO it is a very great idea)

What do you think?
