Problem with QDesktopServices

[innerhippy]

I agree - the thread name says it all..
If the url is not malformed, then QDesktopServices shouldn't be making any changes.

The final call to launch the app seems to be (from src/gui/util/qdesktopservices_x11.cpp)

return (QProcess::startDetached(client + " " + url.toEncoded()));

return (QProcess::startDetached(client + " " + url.toEncoded()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Could this be the problem?

Thanks for your help - much appreciated.

I suggest you decode the percentage notation before sending the request to desktop services. Filing a bug report to Qt Software might be a good thing to do as well.

Thanks - it works now

Just in case anyone else has the same problem:

QByteArray data = model()->data(currentIndex(),Qt::UserRole).toByteArray();
QUrl url = QUrl::fromEncoded(data);
 
if (url.isValid()) 
	QDesktopServices::openUrl(url);

QByteArray data = model()->data(currentIndex(),Qt::UserRole).toByteArray();
QUrl url = QUrl::fromEncoded(data);

if (url.isValid()) 
	QDesktopServices::openUrl(url);
