Opening ~/ and low priority commands

[Neil Hodgson]

Open Selected Filename now works with paths that start with ~/ referencing the user's home directory.

On Windows, external commands can be executed with lower than normal priority with the  "lowpriority" command.mode option like:

command.name.3.*.bat=Low Priority Execute

command.3.*.bat="$(FileNameExt)"

command.mode.3.*.bat=lowpriority:yes

I often run multi-process and multi-threaded check builds and lints which are quite heavy and take a long time to run so this option keeps the system a bit more responsive to interaction while running. This wasn't implemented on Unix as the 'nice' command is easy to use, unlike Windows 'start' which has side effects. If anyone wants to implement an equivalent for Unix, it can be added.

The committed changes can be examined either in the repository:
