Some scripts rely on the
--select
flag to highlight files in file managers. Whilecaja
,dolphin
, andnautilus
support this flag,pcmanfm-qt
currently does not.Currently,
pcmanfm-qt
triggers an argument parser error when using --select, and if not, it open the file with the user selected mime app.This simple PR adds support for the
--select
flag inpcmanfm-qt
using the already existingApplication::ShowItems
method.With this change,
--select
will be accepted bypcmanfm-qt
without errors, improving compatibility with scripts expecting this flag.
