    # Select a file with fzf from a database sorted by frecency and open it using

    item=$(frece print "$DB_FILE" | fzf --tiebreak=index --scheme=path)
    
    [ -z "$item" ] && exit 1
    frece increment "$DB_FILE" "$item"
    
    xdg-open "$item"

    frece update "$DB_FILE" "$tmp_file" --purge-old
    rm "$tmp_file"
