To open files with their associated applications in KDE, use KRun.
It can execute any desktop entry, as well as any file, using the default application or another application "bound" to the file type.
You need to create an instance of KFileOpenWithHandler before, so that in case the mime-type of the file is unknown, or if there is no application associated, KRun will bring up the "open with" dialog. Example: KFileOpenWithHandler fowh; new KRun( url );
In that example, the mimetype of the file is not known by the application, so a KRun instance must be created. It will determine the mimetype by itself. If the mimetype is known, or if you even know the service (application) to use for this file, use one of the static methods.
| KRun ( const KURL& url, mode_t mode = 0,
bool isLocalFile = false, bool showProgressInfo = true )
| KRun |
Create a KRun object to run the preferred application for a file/URL. KRun will first determine the type of the file, and will then run the associated application.
Parameters:
| url | the URL of the file or directory to 'run' |
| mode | The st_mode field of struct stat. If
you don't know this set it to 0.
|
| isLocalFile | If this parameter is set to false then url is
examined to find out whether it is a local URL or
not. This flag is just used to improve speed, since the
function KURL::isLocalFile is a bit slow.
|
| showProgressInfo | Whether to show progress information when determining the type of the file (i.e. when using KIO::stat and KIO::mimetype) Before you set this to false to avoid a dialog box, think about a very slow FTP server... It is always better to provide progress info in such cases. |
| ~KRun ()
| ~KRun |
[virtual]
Destructor. Don't call it yourself, since a KRun object auto-deletes itself.
| bool hasError ()
| hasError |
[const]
| bool hasFinished ()
| hasFinished |
[const]
| bool autoDelete ()
| autoDelete |
[const]
By default auto deletion is on.
| void setAutoDelete (bool b)
| setAutoDelete |
| pid_t run ( const KService& _service, const KURL::List& _urls )
| run |
[static]
Open a list of URLs with a certain service.
Parameters:
| _urls | the list of URLs, can be empty (app launched without argument) |
| pid_t run ( const QString& _exec, const KURL::List& _urls,
const QString& _name = QString::null,
const QString& _icon = QString::null,
const QString& _mini_icon = QString::null,
const QString& _desktop_file = QString::null )
| run |
[static]
Open a list of URLs with.
Parameters:
| _exec | The name of the executable, for example "/usr/bin/netscape". |
| _name | The logical name of the application, for example "Netscape 4.06". |
| _icon | The icon which should be used by the application. |
| _miniicon | The icon which should be used by the application. |
| pid_t runURL ( const KURL& _url, const QString& _mimetype )
| runURL |
[static]
Open the given URL.
This function is used after the mime type is found out. It will search for all services which can handle the mime type and call run() afterwards.
| pid_t runCommand ( QString cmd )
| runCommand |
[static]
Run the given shell command and notifies kicker of the starting of the application. If the program to be called doesn't exist, an error box will be displayed.
_cmd must be a shell command. You must not append "&" to it, since the function will do that for you.
Use only when you know the full command line. Otherwise use the other static methods, or KRun's constructor.
Returns: PID of running command, 0 if it could not be started, 0 - (PID of running command) if command was unsafe for map notification.
| pid_t runCommand ( const QString& cmd, const QString & execName, const QString & icon )
| runCommand |
[static]
Same as the other runCommand, but it also takes the name of the binary, to display an error message in case it couldn't find it.
Parameters:
| icon | icon for app starting notification |
| void shellQuote ( QString &_str )
| shellQuote |
[static]
Quotes a string for the shell
| void finished ()

| void foundMimeType ( const QString& _type )
| foundMimeType |
[protected virtual]
Called if the mimetype has been detected. The function checks whether the document and appends the gzip protocol to the URL. Otherwise runURL is called to finish the job.

| pid_t runOldApplication ( const QString& _exec,
const KURL::List& _urls,
bool _allow_multiple )
| runOldApplication |
[protected static]
For remote URLs to be opened with apps that don't support remote URLs. Uses kfmexec.
| pid_t run ( const QString& _cmd )
| run |
[protected static]
Runs a shell command.
_cmd must be a quoted shell command. You must not append "&" to it, since the function will do that for you. An example is "greet 'Hello Torben'".
Returns: PID of running command, 0 if it could not be started, 0 - (PID of running command) if command was unsafe for map notification.
| void clientStarted (
const QString & name,
const QString & iconName,
pid_t pid,
const QString & resName,
bool compliant,
int screen_number = 0 )
| clientStarted |
[protected static]
Use KStartupInfo instead.
| QString binaryName ( const QString & execLine, bool removePath = true )
| binaryName |
[protected static]
Extracts binary name from Exec command line
Parameters:
| execLine | the command line |
| removePath | if true, /usr/bin/konqueror will be returned as "konqueror" if false, it will be returned with the path. |
| pid_t runCommandInternal ( KProcess* poc, const QString& binName,
const QString& execName, const QString& iconName )
| runCommandInternal |
