if item is not a directory
log whether the item is executable (user has X permission, and file(1)
reports "executable")
if itemname has no extension
if item is executable
run it
else if file(1) reports "text"
view the file contents
else
ask user what to do with it
else check each possible extension in turn, for whether it corresponds to a
filetype
if a recognised extension is found
if item is executable, and action is not just to run it
ask the user whether to run it or do the filetype action
else
perform the default action for the filetype
else
if item is executable
run it
else
ask user what to do with it
