The action <em>Open</em> opens files and folders with the registered
default application for that specific file type. This can be
configured using the action <em>Set Default Application...</em>.
</p>
<p>
The file type associations are provided by the desktop environment, and
modifying them here will modify them on the desktop as well. This may
not be true when not using GNOME or XFCE.

<title>Configuration</title>
<p>
The configuration option <em>Applications for Desktop Environment</em>
in the plugin's information pane in <app>Kupfer Preferences</app>
determines how <app>Kupfer</app> should act with regard to the desktop
environment configuration—certain applications request not to be
shown depending on which desktop environment is used.
</p>
<p>
The default setting is blank which means that it will use the environment
variable <code>XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP</code> to identify the desktop
environment automatically.
