open-external

Many files cannot be displayed in human readable form, and there are no Pulsar plug-ins to do this. In this case, the most convenient way to explore them is to open them in an external program.

Installation

To install open-external search for open-external in the Install pane of the Pulsar settings or run ppm install open-external. Alternatively, you can run ppm install bacadra/pulsar-open-external to install a package directly from the Github repository.
