Hi, I try to open a file in the explorer (OS independent in the end). That's what I try on windows: QStringList args; args << "/select," << QDir::toNativeSeparators("G:/test.txt"); QProcess::startDetached("explorer", args); This test.txt is definately there, but when I call this, it just opens the explorer, not the selected directory or file. What did I miss? Thanks for answers!

Ahh that is a classic :))) I forgot about it. Most stupid settings the history of windows as renaming the file will not actually work and you get 2 x extension.
