      For opening file or directory I should use prefix "file://" on Linux system, while on Windows that will not work. However, specifying path without prefix "file://" will work fine.

      QML samples below.

      Windows

      Qt.openUrlExternally('C:/1.jpg');
Qt.openUrlExternally('C:/mydir');

      Linux

      Qt.openUrlExternally('file:///home/user/1.jpg');
Qt.openUrlExternally('file:///home/user');

      Again: windows code snipped will NOT work on Linux, and vice versa. It's not convenient for cross-platform development.
