And that the batch file needs to be one of the arguments to cmd.
Something like:
Code:
return QProcess::startDetached("cmd.exe", {"/k", "C:\Path\to\mybatchfile.bat"}, "C:\Working\Dir");
If true... then the Open With feature of Sigil is going to need a bit of an overhaul to support launching exes AND bat|cmd files on all supported versions of Windows. |
But the "Open With" feature is there from years. Someone before must have faced the issue of running a program with a switch, from Sigil, and under Windows 7. So, if it were an old "bug" (it doesn't seem a bug according to your words), already someone would have written about it.
