Description Yuri 2014-11-08 09:45:40 UTC 
xdg-open (interpreted by /bin/sh) contains this line:
file="$(printf "$(echo "$file" | sed -e 's@%\([a-f0-9A-F]\{2\}\)@\\x\1@g')")"

This syntax is for bash, and not for the regular shell.
It fails on FreeBSD, where sh!=bash (unlike on linux)

This line should be fixed to work with the regular shell.
