How to open a file with external app

Hi pharoers,
Is it possible to select a file and open it with an external application ? For example, I need to open a pdf file. How can I do that ? Thank you for the help, Jannik |

The only solution currently is to use OSProcess and
- open under OSX - gnome-open under linux On 2013-03-27, at 23:05, jannik.laval <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi pharoers, > > Is it possible to select a file and open it with an external application ? > For example, I need to open a pdf file. > > How can I do that ? > > Thank you for the help, > Jannik > |

I just see that it is not integrated in Pharo2.0.
Where can I find it ?

Hi again,
I took the ConfigurationOfOSProcess in http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository When I load the stable version in Pharo2.0, there is a lot of error that things are undeclared in Transcript:

Looks like OSProcess is not your best bet.
Check NBWin32Shell instead (in NativeBoostWin32) (Smalltalk at: #NBWin32Shell) shellBrowse: '<a href="http://localhost:'">http://localhost:', self port asString Phil 2013/3/29 jannik laval <[hidden email]>: > Hi again, > > I took the ConfigurationOfOSProcess in > http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository > When I load the stable version in Pharo2.0, there is a lot of error that > things are undeclared in Transcript: > > === > CommandShell>>builtinCommandProxyFor:input:output:error: > (ShellBuiltinEvaluator is Undeclared) > CommandShell>>evaluationProxyFor:input:output:error: (ExpressionEvaluator is > Undeclared) > CommandShell>>installCommands: (ShellBuiltin is Undeclared) > CommandShell>>open (CommandShellTranscript is Undeclared) > CommandShell>>openLabel: (CommandShellTranscript is Undeclared) > CommandShell>>pipeline: (ProxyPipeline is Undeclared) > CommandShell>>pipelineCollectionFrom: (ProxyPipeline is Undeclared) > CommandShell>>processProxyFor:input:output:error:predecessorProxy: > (InternalPipe is Undeclared) > CommandShell>>processProxyFor:input:output:error:predecessorProxy: > (PipeJunction is Undeclared) > CommandShell>>processProxyFor:input:output:error:predecessorProxy: > (PipeableOSProcess is Undeclared) > CommandShell>>scheduleToEvaluate: (ScheduledControllers is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor class>>fileNamed:inDirectoryPath: (CrLfFileStream is > Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor class>>fileNamed:withLabel: (CrLfFileStream is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>bogusTruncate: (CrLfFileStream is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>fileContentsMenu:shifted: (ParagraphEditor is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>getAnotherFileName: (PopUpMenu is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>getAnotherFileName: (FillInTheBlank is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>getFileName: (PopUpMenu is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>getFileName: (FillInTheBlank is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>mvcWithLabel: (StandardSystemView is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>mvcWithLabel: (StandardSystemController is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>mvcWithLabel: (PluggableTextView is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>put: (CrLfFileStream is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>put: (CrLfFileStream is Undeclared) > CrLfFileEditor>>saveAs (FillInTheBlank is Undeclared) > CommandShellTranscript>>openLabel: (StandardSystemView is Undeclared) > CommandShellTranscript>>openLabel: (StandardSystemController is Undeclared) > CommandShellTranscript>>openLabel: (ShellWindowView is Undeclared) > === > > Do I have the correct version ? > > Thanks, > Jannik > > 2013/3/29 jannik laval <[hidden email]> >> >> Thank you all. >> >> Jannik >> >> >> 2013/3/28 Holger Hans Peter Freyther <[hidden email]> >>> >>> On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 11:26:21PM +0100, Camillo Bruni wrote: >>> > The only solution currently is to use OSProcess and >>> > - open under OSX >>> > - gnome-open under linux >>> >>> Please use xdg-open to work on all free desktop implementations. >>> >> >> >> >> -- >> >> ~~Dr. Jannik Laval~~ >> École des Mines de Douai >> Enseignant-chercheur >> http://www.jannik-laval.eu > > > > > -- > > ~~Dr. Jannik Laval~~ > École des Mines de Douai > Enseignant-chercheur > http://www.jannik-laval.eu |

Hi Phil, Thank you for the help. But this line is only available for Windows. I don't find the same for MacOS and Linux. Thanks, Jannik 2013/3/29 [hidden email] <[hidden email]> Looks like OSProcess is not your best bet. ~~Dr. Jannik Laval~~ |

For OSX, it is just a matter of calling open from the OSProcess as
Cami told us in the list already. It works.

Yes,
But I am thinking that using 2 differents things to do the same work is not cool. So, I will use that for now.

Yes, that's frustrating. Example: Help Server using NBShell32 and not working on OSX... 2013/3/29 jannik.laval <[hidden email]> Yes, |

why? you just need to implement an strategy for that.
