Member Function Documentation

◆ openUrl() [1/2]

bool MantidQt::API::MantidDesktopServices::openUrl ( const QString & url )

static

Definition at line 53 of file MantidDesktopServices.cpp.

References openUrl().

◆ openUrl() [2/2]

bool MantidQt::API::MantidDesktopServices::openUrl ( const QUrl & url )

static

Opens a url in the appropriate web browser.

On Linux systems if LD_PRELOAD is defined as an environment variable then it is removed for the duration of the call to the web browser. This is to avoid known issues with LD_PRELOAD libraries and some web browsers, e.g. firefox. On all other systems the method simply passes through to QDesktopServies

Parameters

url	Address to be opened
