open files on different platforms

[bzz]

Thank you for sharing the code for this tool!

Right now, it includes a hard-coded calls to linux-specific tool subprocess.call(('xdg-open', XXX)).

It would be nice to have other platforms supposted (e.g. mac OS) by refactoring that to the logic similar to https://golang.org/src/cmd/internal/browser/browser.go that calls the right tool on each platform.

Otherwise, right now, on mac OS the tool works, but one can not open any file as there is no xdg-open binary.

Thanks for your comment and the very useful link. I want to test windows as well but I don't have mac OS. I will implement it accordingly to the link posted above (without testing) for mac OS and comment it here when the implementation is published.

It seems that remapy crashs OSX. I just installed remapy on my mac using the install.sh file and launched it using the launch.sh. Next thing that happens is that my mac logs out and I need to log in back.
Maybe just add a small warning to your readme.

Thank you for this important information, I added a comment to the Readme.

This should now be fixed...

For those that still have an issue with xdg-open, change 'xdg-open' to 'open' in remapy/gui/file_explorer.py
