    Hey folks,

    I was looking for multi-platform replacement to QDesktopServices::openUrl which was available in older Qt versions. In linux, I can use freedesktop dbus specification[0] but I don't have any idea about other platforms, especially Windows and Mac. Does anyone have any idea about it ?

      @ashishbansal http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdesktopservices.html#openUrl it's still available. Why would you think it was not? or did you know it was but wanted an alternative anyway?

        Sorry, I din't know that it's still available.
        I was searching for opening a local directory in qt and found somewhere calling it as "deprecated" solution.

        Anyway Thanks :)
