[Digikam-users] OT: Accessing Open With dialogue (Was: Plugin development)

[Andi Clemens]

I don't know if it is possible to open this dialog just from the command line 
(or via dbus).

I checked kdialog --help, but this doesn't contain the openwith feature.
If firefox wants to use this dialog, the only possibility that I see is to 
link against kdebase and use the KOpenWithDialog class.

But I don't think this is a good idea :-)
I'm not that much into kdelibs, so maybe you should ask in the kde-devel 
channel on IRC. There might be a possibility to use this dialog without 
linking against KDE libraries.
