DEFAULT APP CHANGER

Easily change your default browser, editor, word processor and so on.

This was made as a part of another project, so may or may not be of any use.
I use it inside other scripts, as an easy way to change the default apps, if required.

Changes the executed commands in the /usr/local/bin/default*** files, via simple commands in the terminal console..

Changelog:

version 0.2

- changes are only made if both the default*** exist and the new command given is executable
- the full path is not required for commands - `which` is now used to find the full path
- all messages output in terminal

Example usage, (type in console):
1. Get help: 2. Some specific examples of how to change default apps:
NOTE: full path and double quotes ("") are optional for the final command

Supports all the default*** files that you may have installed!

In case anyone cares, I've updated this little util.. See main post.

Thanks for this useful app

My pleasure... Glad you like it..

It was a pain in the next to do it manually all the time, and I needed a quick way of doing it that I could also use in scripts..
