Opening a file using operating system default program for the file type

[Apelsinsaft]

Hi,

I have a number of file names attached to an entry in a database. I simply want the user to be able to open the file in the default program.

Something like this:
@QFancyClass()->openFileUsingDefaultMimeHandler(myfilename).@

I've had a look at QProcess, QFile and QDir, but I'm still not sure how to do this. I've most likely missed something; I'd appreciate any pointers!

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I have no need to communicate with the spawned process or anything, I just want to launch it.

Use QDesktopServices:
@
QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl::fromUserInput("path/to/the/file"));
@

Excellent, thank you very much!
