You are right, but the ones I found refer to blanks in the path of the file TO BE OPENED. My problem is blanks in the path of the program that is used to open the file. This program is picked internally by QDesk- topServices::openUrl() and is called internally, and currently it seems the path to it must not contain blanks.
