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
