Help with script to launch an app

[Archie Arevalo]

Hello.

First, I'd like to thank the creators and developer of this fine app. I have
just packaged it in 64-bit and submitted to the SRPM to our head developer,
Texstar.

I am running a test installation our distro's KDE 64-bit and had installed and
been running and testing the app. I got much of the gist in abbreviations and
simple scripts.

But I need some help in another mundane task such as opening a filemanager
(Dolphin) and changing to one of the address protocols (kio), say for example,
recentdocument:/

I can get dolphine to launch with a output = system.exec_command("dolphin")
but and more than that, I'm stuck.

I tried using Record Macro to see what the output is and maybe get an idea of
how I can proceed but anything else I tried simply opens the filemanager and
nothing more.

Thank you in advance for any help.

You probably should look at the dolphin documentation to see if it
accepts the path as a parameter, or contact the developers of that
application to determine the best method to programmatically change to
such a pseudo-directory.

Luke is on the money... when you find out how to make Dolphin do what
you want, you can use that exact same command with system.exec_command
- it acts like your shell and accepts all the same commands.

Thank you for pointing Dolphin out. Geez, and all the while I was looking at
the <>s and +s within the exec_command shell. I got that part sorted out.
