# - The first entry with a matching MIME type will be executed, * is a wildcard
# - %s will be replaced with the image or video url
# - Add ``test=test -n "$DISPLAY"`` if your command opens a new window
# - Add ``needstermial`` for commands that use the terminal
# - Add ``copiousoutput`` for commands that dump text to stdout
