Whippet (formerly Ease): application launcher and xdg-open replacement

Whippet is a Bash script which opens files and urls with applications associated by name and/or MIME-type. Applications and associations may be customized within an SQLite database, and can be weighted according to the importance you assign to them. Whippet can serve as an xdg-open replacement for those who wish to have total control over which applications are associated with which types of files. For more experienced users only, but ideal for integrating with light desktop environments and file managers. Whippet uses dmenu to manage its menus, and you will also need a program such as DB Browser for SQLite for managing the SQLite database. Once installed from the AUR package, execute the command 'man whippet' for more information.

Edit on 2015-06-23: Updated for Whippet 2.1.2.
Edit on 2015-03-15: Rebranded as Whippet; was formerly Ease.
