[SOLVED]QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl()) saying file doesn't exist, when it does

[Tory Gaurnier]

I'm trying to open a file with QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl()), I have a QString url with value "/home/username/my file.pdf", and when I run QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(url)) I get the following error:
gvfs-open: /home/username/mypercent20file.pdf: error opening location: Error when getting information for file '/home/username/mypercent20file.pdf': No such file or directory

Now it's obviously encoding the string correctly, putting the percent20s in for spaces and whatnot, but it's saying that the file doesn't exist??? Is it maybe looking relative to my home directory or working directory or something? If it's looking relative to root directory (as it should with that url), then it should be able to find the file.

you have to convert path (/some/file/here) to url form (file:///some/path/here)

@
QString path = "/some/path/here";
QUrl pathUrl = QUrl::fromLocalFile(path);
QDesktopServices::openUrl(pathUrl);

Ahhhh, see, I tried QUrl::toLocalFile, thinking it would convert to a local file url, it seems I got them mixed up. It's strange because the first thing I tried was
@QString url = "file:///home/username/my file.pdf"@

However when feeding that to QUrl it was replacing the file extention with a space o_O
So it would convert to "file:///home/username/mypercent20file "

Anyhow, thanks for the help, I really appreciate it! I've had nothing but good luck getting help on these forums _^__^

Please stop asking the same questions on every thread related to QDesktopServices, open your own thread asking for help.

First thing you should do is follow the porting guide from Qt 5's documentation.
