--- Comment #4 from Kusi <k...@forum.titlis.org> ---
I investigated a bit the problem of launching a terminal cross platform
The following code snippet allows to handle the case of KDE, but it should be
easy to extend it for various desktop environments. I just guessed the values
for GNOME, I didn't test for GNOME
QByteArray env = qgetenv("XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP");
QString desktopEnvironment = QString::fromLocal8Bit(env.data());
QMap<QString, QString> terminals;
terminals["KDE"] = "konsole";
terminals["GNOME"] = "gnome-shell";
terminals["WINDOWS"] = "cmd.exe";
if (terminals.contains(desktopEnvironment))
{
QProcess *process = new QProcess(this);
QString terminal = terminals[desktopEnvironment];
QString folder = "/share/pictures";
process->setWorkingDirectory(folder);
process->start(terminal);
}
While getting the current platform (linux/win/osx) seems straight forward with
either QSysInfo or https://wiki.qt.io/Get_OS_name, it is tricky to get the
desktop environment, but it is still feasible w/o too much hassle:

Remember, if the terminal is not available, the option is just disabled. It
doesn't have to exist for every exotic desktop environment
what do you think?
