I usually open my images with the wonderful irfanview
http://www.irfanview.net/
so
> cygstart logo.jpg
does the job
Occasionally I want to use Adobe Photoshop elements, like many Windows Apps
it wants the FULL path to the document and obviously in DOS format.
The following does the trick, and may be of interest to others
function pse()
{
# name : pse
# description : Open image with Adobe Photoshop elements
# : (cannot use cygstart as not in Windows File Association)
c:/Program\ Files/Adobe/Photoshop\ Elements\ 2/PhotoshopElements.exe
$(cygpath -w $PWD/$1) &
}
