Thanks for the info.

I use zsh suffix aliases, so I don't need to worry about "MS Windows"
file associations.  If you use zsh and set suffix aliases in your zsh
startup file, such as ~/.zshenv

Then all you have to do to view you file is
$ logo.jpg

#zsh will see the jpg suffix and find the application that you
associated with it in your ~/.zshenv file.  This is to me more
portable, in that I don't have to rely on "MS's" hash or data
structures...

You would need a function to as you kindly showed to change to an
explicitly different application (picture studio in your example.).

Regards
