TxPad can receive parameters, so to open a file use for example :
You can also pass multiple parameters and open multiple files at once...

But i am not sure how to "register" certain file types to be opened with my editor by default, i never looked into that..

TRX.

This is true for some standard filetypes. I use hildon_mime_open_file.
It does not open .sh .py .conf or unknown files for example.

I'll ad an open with TXPad for all filetypes except .txt as standard.

Updated first page

btw I think it was the CSSU where you can disable dektop config mode.

Py opens fine for me, but the other are probably not defined in my setup either... But thats the right way to do it, so if they dont open then they will need to be configured elsewhere. Thats what for example dbus-switchboard is made for

lol, this sounded so much like a complicated system trigger something, that I didn't even search for it. But right, dbus-switchboard solves the problem.

Just an idea since you have already done a part of it
But if you added a list of userconfigurable mimetypes to the configfile, that when found there would open a menu where the user could select either to open with the standardprogram or with a texteditor.
Then for example shellscripts and other files, that are both executed and edited by the user, could be both executed and edited in a simple way.

I do have an another idea too that would greatly expand the functionality without so much work, and that is to add a possibility to "open terminalwindow here" , that would open the terminal in the current directory.

But this is just ideas so do what you want with them

Ps, thanks for the homebutton, it made a great difference

... in the cue

The behavior of the widget is different when dbus-switchboard is installed, TXPad is not called anymore.

Any progress?

I'll update the next days
