    I think qprocess only works when for example one example run one executable. But with pictures will work for example to open one picture? I think not but not sure?

      Hi
      No, QProcess works ONLY with "exe" files. Something that is runnable.
      A picture is not.

      To open a picture using the default program for that, one can call
      http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdesktopservices.html

      QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("file:///home/XX/fileName.png"))
