Sentry Crash Report:

Description Robert Strahl 2013-05-13 19:29:43 UTC 
$ 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.
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2013-05-13 20:16:11 UTC 
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.
Comment 2 Robert Strahl 2013-05-14 17:49:15 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 Dawit Alemayehu 2013-06-02 16:15:09 UTC 
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.
