Hi, Desktop.Open is quite a handy utility. Thank you for that, Benoît.
But now can anyone help me understand what Desktop.Open, with Wait=True, does? The Gambas documentation does not say, and the 'xdg-open' documentation gives no mention of it. I thought perhaps it might cause Desktop.Open to wait until the opened application terminates. But it does not. I have tested it with Wait set to True and False, and with image and text files. And, the only difference I see is that Wait=True causes only a slight delay before Desktop.Open returns. In both cases (True or False), Desktop.Open returns before the application fully launches and becomes the active window. One more thing to clarify. Am I correct in assuming that since it is optional, the default would be False? -- Lee __________ "Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
