Ubuntu Common Hooker is software that facilitates the installation of packages for unknown file extensions. It offers an interface for automatic installation, making it easier for users to access and utilize files with unfamiliar extensions.
Use cases for this project are numerous, including Eduard, a schizophrenic who relies on listening to "Veronika Plays Piano, volume 1" in MP3 format to calm himself. Unfortunately, Eduard recently switched to Ubuntu Linux and found that he was unable to play his MP3s. With Ubuntu Common Hooker, he can quickly install the necessary packages to access his files.
Dr. Igor is another great example of someone who can benefit from this project. He regularly compresses his research files with the .rar extension, but when his colleague Villete switched to Ubuntu Linux, Dr. Igor found that he was unable to open "Vitriol.rar" and "Zedka.rar". With Ubuntu Common Hooker, he can quickly install the necessary packages and access his files once again.
Okonkwo is yet another person who can benefit from Ubuntu Common Hooker. When he tried to open "Wresting with Amalinze.mpg" for the first time in Ubuntu Linux, he received an error message saying "there are no codecs to view this file". His father Onuka, who uses Windows, had no problem viewing .mpg files, but Okonkwo wants to stick with Ubuntu Linux. With Ubuntu Common Hooker, he can quickly and easily install the necessary codecs to view his files.
To use Ubuntu Common Hooker, all that is required is the GTK+ version 2.2.x. This project is a fantastic solution for those looking to simplify the process of working with files with unknown extensions in Ubuntu Linux.
