- Subject: [Newbie] Opening Files in a Folder
Hello,
Suppose I have a folder on the desktop that contains a number of files. I would like to select only the .jpg files and then open them in a) a particular app if possible, or b) whatever app is associated with the .jpg extension.
I think the syntax would look like:
find "C:/path/to/desktop/images" -iname "*.jpg" -print0 | xargs -0 <some command to open these files>
I don't know what should be substituted for <some command to open these files>. Any ideas?
Regards,
Sean Mills
