It does, and LyX already uses it. > I don't know how to get the output of the process. Use runCommand() from support/filetools.cpp. The only drawback is that it does not handle stderr. Currently there are already three methods to lauch a child process in LyX: - runCommand() - The ForkedCall class - The ISpell class IMNSHO at least one (better two) of these methods should go, and adding a forth one is definitely wrong. If you are really going to use QProcess then it should replace at least one of these child launchers. Georg
