-default FreeFileSync opens the operating system's file browser on
-each mouse double-click by invoking "explorer

-on Windows and "xdg-open
-"%item_folder%""
-on Linux. However
-you may integrate other external applications into FreeFileSync:
-navigate to Menu
-→ Advanced → Global settings: External Applications
-and add or replace a command. The
-first entry is executed when double-clicking a row or pressing ENTER
-on main grid while all other entries can only be accessed via the
