==Abstract== <!--T:2-->
 
<!--T:3-->
Now that we have a text editor that can open and save files. We will now make the editor act more like a desktop application by enabling it to open files from command line arguments or even using ''Open with'' from within Dolphin.

==Explanation== <!--T:10-->
 
===mainwindow.h=== <!--T:11-->
 
<!--T:12-->
Here we have done nothing but add a new <tt>openFile</tt> function which takes a <tt>QUrl</tt>. Again, we use a QUrl instead of a QString so that we can also work with remote files as if they were local.
</translate>
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
void openFile(const QUrl &inputFileName);
</syntaxhighlight>
<translate>
===mainwindow.cpp=== <!--T:13-->
 
<!--T:14-->
There's no new code here, only rearranging. Everything from <tt>void openFile()</tt> has been moved into <tt>void openFile(const QUrl &inputFileName)</tt> except the call to <tt>QFileDialog::getOpenFileUrl()</tt>.
 
<!--T:15-->
This way, we can call <tt>openFile()</tt> if we want to display a dialog, or we can call <tt>openFile(QUrl)</tt> if we know the name of the file already. Which will be the case when we feed the file name through the command line.
 
===main.cpp=== <!--T:16-->
 
<!--T:17-->
This is where all the [http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcommandlineparser.html QCommandLineParser] magic happens. In previous examples, we only used the class to feed QApplication the necessary data for using flags like <tt>--version</tt> or <tt>--author</tt>. Now we actually get to use it to process command line arguments.
 
<!--T:18-->
First, we tell QCommandLineParser that we want to add a new positional arguments. In a nutshell, these are arguments that are not options. <tt>-h</tt> or <tt>--version</tt> are options, <tt>file</tt> is an argument.
</translate>
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
parser.addPositionalArgument(QStringLiteral("file"), i18n("Document to open"));
</syntaxhighlight>
<translate>
 
<!--T:19-->
Later on, we start processing positional arguments, but only if there is one. Otherwise, we proceed as usual. In our case we can only open one file at a time, so only the first file is of interest to us. We call the <tt>openFile()</tt> function and feed it the URL of the file we want to open, whether it is a local file like {{path|$HOME/foo}} or a remote one like {{path|ftp.mydomain.com/bar}}. We use the overloaded form of <tt>[http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qurl.html#fromUserInput-1 QUrl::fromUserInput()]</tt> in order to set the current path. This is needed in order to work with relative paths like <tt>"../baz"</tt>.
</translate>
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt">
if (parser.positionalArguments().count() > 0)
{
    window->openFile(QUrl::fromUserInput(parser.positionalArguments().at(0), QDir::currentPath()));
}
