Good point. Anyway we'd need some 'placeholders' which will be expanded
while executing the command - I propose the following:

    %f  file name (or list for multiple selections)
    %F  escaped filename (or list for multiple selections)
    %p  full file system path (or list for multiple selections)
    %P  escaped full  files ystem path (or list for multiple selections)
    %u  fully qualified URI for the file (or list for multiple
selections)
    %d  full path to the directory containg file
    %D  escaped full path to the directory containg file
    %s  synonym for %p (for compatibility)
    %%  percent sign

The same may apply to all defined applications (like editor, viewer,
etc.). What about it?
