How do you use

Qt.openUrlExternally()

for opening a program?  I thought that was for opening a file type (like
a web page, or whatever).
Will apparmor prevent this even on a desktop, if I package it as a deb
and make a ppa?  Or is this for the phone OS only?  Once TTS is
imlemented on the phone I can use whatever import I need and access it
through that.  As long as I can test this portion on my machine I can
change it once more backend for the phone is in place.

Not sure what you mean with that?  Are you saying you don't think
QML/JavaScript is lighter?  If so I understand, C++ probably compiles to
be lighter, but my thinking is that JavaScript runs in a browser, so if
I can make my code one line, instead of including main.cpp, qprocess.cpp
qprocess.h it will be lighter (smaller?).  I suppose this is not
accurate, just seems like it would be slightly smaller.
