NAME
       ObFilebrowser - a file browser for Openbox using pipe menus


SYNOPSIS
       obfilebrowser [options] <path>


DESCRIPTION
       ObFilebrowser is a command-line tool which creates pipe menus for Open‐
       box from system paths. These menus can display the content of  directo‐
       ries and lists of applications for opening files. The application lists
       are created from the mimeinfo on the system. Default  applications  are
       determined using ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list.


MENU EXAMPLE
       To  display  the	 contents  of  your home directory in the openbox root
       menu, you could add the following line to the root  menu	 in  Openbox's
       menu.xml, which is normally located at ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml:

	      <menu id="obfb-home" label="home" execute="obfilebrowser ~" />

       Options may be included either before or after the file path within the
       "execute" attribute and will cascade to all submenus.

       Note that if obfilebrowser is not on your path, you will need to	 spec‐
       ify a full path to it in the menu's "execute" attribute above.


OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Display the help message and exit.


       --copy An  internal option to enable copying paths and mimetypes to the
	      clipboard. This functionality requires xsel.
