[IPython-dev] open IPython notebooks from file browser (Linux)

Hi,
I wrote a little helper script to open ipynb files directly from my 
filebrowser (caja in my case). It assumes that there is already a 
notebookserver running, that can access the ipynb files.

It contains a .desktop file that calls a bash script. This script 
removes the "ipython notebook server root directory" from the file name, 
and opens a browser with the url pointing to the notebook.

Installation:
copy the desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications
copy the sh file to ~/bin/ and chmod +x

I realize this is a very crude approach, but it works for me.
