Argument handling on Haiku Hi, I’m Nephele. I’ve not made a blog post before, but this seemed like a good opportunity. There are two main ways to start an application from Haiku’s UI, directly and indirectly. Directly by opening it, and indirectly by opening a file that the application you want supports (and is configured to handle). The indirect way involves opening a file that the application supports and having the mimetype plus the registrar figure out where to forward this to.
