I don't know offhand if the gspawn API exposes this option.
g_spawn_helper uses _wspawnv() to launch the .exe which unfortunately does not have this option. I think g_spawn_helper might need reworking to use CreateProcess or similar. I could have a go at a patch, though I don't know much about win32 and I'd probably make a hash of it :( John _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
