You're the first person (@RbnJrg) I can recall having ever asked about launching external programs with additional parameters.

Besides ... it wouldn't be the first time a different version of Qt behaved differently than the previous one. We haven't been building Sigil with 5.12.3 for very long in the grand scheme of things. It's entirely possible it may worked with Qt5.6.3 on Windows 7. Who knows.

The point is that we allow Windows users to select bat and cmd files for Open With, so it either needs to work (on all supported versions of Windows) or we need to limit Open With to exes.
