Just because it's a menu doesn't mean it doesn't involve arguments. Those menu launchers still frequently use command line arguments, even if offered via a .desktop file. They may also exist for other purposes, e.g. debugging, or switching on certain functionality. The fact that there are so many reinventions of these command line parsers shows there is something of a need for them - I've seen at least four different implementations not including simple mangling of QCoreApplication::arguments()... ...but I think this is really just an academic exercise until there is real code, anyway. _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
