$ kde-open --help specifies that multiple urls can be specified, yet kde-open only opens the first. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $ kde-open file1 file2 file3 where file1, file2, and file3 are local files Actual Results: Only file1 is opened. No output is given to indicate success or failure. Expected Results: All specified files should be opened There is no documentation for this command that I can find, outside of the brief help message. The web generally states that this command can be used to open files based on their mime-type. I assume I am using this command in the correct way.
This looks like an error in the help message, probably caused by the fact that some kioclient commands (such as "copy" or "move") accept multiple arguments.
Can we update the help message -- both to fix the error, and to clarify what the command does for non-technical users? I lack the understanding to do so myself.
This is indeed a mistake in the command like message. kde-open can only open a single file at a time like xdg-open ; so the message should have reflected that.
