Hi,
I want to implement the following fonctionnality : run my application by double-clicking on the associated file. For the moment, i can run it in command line by transmitting the file name as argument and it work correctly.
Any idea please ?
Thanks

I have moved this from the General to the Brainstorm forum, as it's not Qt related.
Qt itself does not provide any means for this.
For Windows, "Gerolf":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/member/38 has written a "wiki article":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Assigning_a_file_type_to_an_Application_on_Windows that describes what to do.
The associated "forum thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/4810/ lists some solutions for other operating systems.

We move stuff to the right forum then, nothing you must be worried about too much.
If you've come to a solution, feel free to report back here. We'll be glad to hear that we could be of help.
