I'm using file.launch() to open a document with the associated application.
I use nsILocalFile and everything works on Windows, but on Linux with KDE
launch() always raise an exception.
Is there a way to open a document with the associated application on Linux KDE?
You can open a document with the associated application on Gnome... It's
slightly less straightforward than just .launch() though. This code
should work for Windows too, btw:
// yourfile is assumed to be your file
var ms = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/mime;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIMIMEService);
var type = ms.getTypeFromFile(yourfile);
var mi = ms.getFromTypeAndExtension(type, "");
mi.preferredAction = Components.interfaces.nsIMIMEInfo.useSystemDefault;
mi.launchWithFile(yourfile);
