Hi! Is there a C++ library that can, given a filename, start the default application for its type to open it?
I'd say Boost.Process would be the library where the feature you are asking for would need to be added to (see http://www.netbsd.org/~jmmv/process/). There are a few more problems though: * Boost.Process is not an official Boost library. * Development stopped in 2006 as far as I can tell. * The original developer can't be contacted anymore (at least I didn't manage to contact him). I took the source code of version 0.1 (the only version released so far) and fixed a couple of bugs. The library basically works but is far from complete. There are various outstanding issues, and I'm not sure yet if I have enough time to go through all of them. Boris
