Hi, I searched for this on google and in this group, but my awesome
google-fu powers failed me. Is there a way to open any file using
default program that'd open it? In other words, to do the same action
as double-clicking in windows explorer? And secondly, is there a way
to do the same thing for linux that'd work across all desktop
environments and distributions, or at least in all major ones? What
I'm trying to do here is to have records (or items) in my app where
you could attach any kind of file and open it from there by clicking
'open'. Then it would go and do something like os.system("laun ch %s" %
filename). So any way to do this except for keeping your own
dictionary of file types and relevant apps? thx, -ak

Hey there,
I've had to do the same things for a program that I'm writing. The
following command should do the trick:
os.startfile("y ourfilehere")
from the os module. Hope this helps!

Hi everyone,
As some of you may know, we've been having trouble with an
unrecognized database format error.
Today I installed an unfinished project on the workstation of one of
my users. It's a query by form in which she enters the criteria of
the record she wants in an unbound form, and it pulls only that record
and switches to the entry form so she can enter data. I had noticed
it was faster than find or filter, so I offered it to...

Hi
1) Is it possible to force browser to open image in default windows
application? That is what specifies in Folder Options for jpg extension.
2) Also if the 1) is possible is it possible to send few jpg files at the
same time.
The problem that I am facing is that the client needs to print some files
that are saved on the server. Usually before printing user needs to resize
them. It would be the best if image opens right away in the...

Hi,
I am trying to pop-up a window when the user clicks on an image. The
problem is that when the user clicks on the image and the window pops
up OK, but the window underneath also proceeds to the image. The
desired behavior is that when the pop-up is invoked, I want the
underlying window to stay put.
I don't have this problem when I run the code on my local computer but
I do have it when I run the code on geocities.

Hello,
How would I go about finding the default handler, let's say a text
file (*.txt), then launch the default handler with the file as an
argument? I had found how to launch an external program, but I do not
know how I would find the default handler to a file type. Any help is
greatly appreciated.
Code to launch application:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
