QDesktopServices::openUrl vs /usr/bin/grob

[grekker]

I'm looking at Inneractive's QML SDK sources and I see the following code in adinterface.cpp:

#elif defined(MEEGO_EDITION_HARMATTAN)
    QProcess::startDetached(QString("/usr/bin/invoker --type=m /usr/bin/grob %1").arg(adUrl.toString()));
#else
    QDesktopServices::openUrl(adUrl);
#endif

Why is it not using QDesktopServices on N9? Is this just an optimization to not to launch a second copy of the browser, or what?

Hi,

Please see this discussion thread post. It could be one reason for choosing grob.

Well, me thinks that QDesktopServices:penUrl should start device's default browser/application for the url, which precisely already is grob on N9.
