    Description

      It would be nice if there were more Desktop specific file actions in
      QDesktopService:

      • Open a file with a given "operation". This is possible on every
        platform in a different way. Operation can be "open/view", "edit",
        "print" etc. You could just extend your openURL() method with an
        optional Operation enum.
      • Move File into "Trash". This is possible with windows/mac and
        Linux/KDE/Gnome.
      • Open a "File Properties" dialog for a given file. This is supported
        on Windows/Mac and Linux/KDE/Gnome as well.
      • Copy/Move a file (URL to URL) with a graphical progress dialog. This
        works on every platform too.
