 ======== Editor command macros                               [section:editors]
 
- Any one of the following filename markers may be used:
-
-    %f  Replaced with list of selected files, may occur once.
-    %p  Command is run once for each selected file, may occur multiple times.
-   
- Use of the following to display output window for the command:
+Editors are configured via standard desktop files, see
+http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
 
-    %v  Display result of command in output window, must occur as first two
-        characters in the command, or immediately after the "%w" macro.
-    %V  Like v above, but when used with %p, only displays output window for
-        multiple files. The output of a single file is suppressed.
-
- Additional macros:
+FIXME: Geeqie extensions
 
-    %w  Prevent full screen from deactivating when command is executed,
-        must occur as the first two characters.
-
-    %%  This will be replaced by one '%'. This is the way to escape '%'.
-
-    %d  This only makes sense for external commands like copy or move as this
-        is replaced by the destination.
