 ## Functions
 * add - Add a file and entry to the index
-* search - search through the index
+* check - check if all files saved in the index exist and aren't faulty
 * delete - delete a file and remove the entry
+* open - open one or more files from the index in the default application (only Linux and Windows)
+* search - search through the index
 * update - change a value of an entry in the index or move a file to another category
 
-* check - check if all files in the index exist and have the correct hash
 ## Configuration
 The file `config.py` holds some very important variables which you need to look at before using the index:
 * ROOT_DIR: The absolute path of where you want to save your files (the directories for the categories will be created there)
