24 * @class ApplicationLauncherJob applicationlauncherjob.h <KIO/ApplicationLauncherJob>
25 *
26 * @brief ApplicationLauncherJob runs an application and watches it while running.
27 *
28 * It creates a startup notification and finishes it on success or on error (for the taskbar).
29 * It also emits an error message if necessary (e.g. "program not found").
30 *
31 * When passing multiple URLs to an application that doesn't support opening
32 * multiple files, the application will be launched once for each URL.
33 *
34 * The job finishes when the application is successfully started. At that point you can
35 * query the PID(s).
36 *
37 * For error handling, either connect to the result() signal, or for a simple messagebox on error,
38 * you can use:
39 * @code
40 * // Since 5.98 use:
41 * job->setUiDelegate(KIO::createDefaultJobUiDelegate(KJobUiDelegate::AutoHandlingEnabled, this));
42 * // For older releases use:
43 * job->setUiDelegate(new KIO::JobUiDelegate(KJobUiDelegate::AutoHandlingEnabled, this));
44 * @endcode
45 * Using JobUiDelegate (which is widgets based) also enables the feature of asking the user
46 * in case the executable or desktop file isn't marked as executable. Otherwise the job will
47 * just refuse executing such files.
48 *
49 * To invoke the open-with dialog (from KIOWidgets), construct an ApplicationLauncherJob without
50 * any arguments or with a null KService.
51 *
52 * @since 5.69
