I'm using GeExecuteProgram to execute an external application. But I want the application to just open and not load any document. But it seems the GeExecuteProgram requires a filename reference. Is there any way to simply open the external application?Rui Batista

Even so, I found a workaround. I created an empty file to load. Not perfect, but works.

That's not a workaround - that is how it should be done. :)

But imagine I want to start an application that doesn't open files. Imagine, lets say, a clock application. This type of application only shows a windows and doesn't deal with any files. It doesn't even has a file type associated.
How can I cann such an application if I must provide a file? ;-)Rui Batista

No, that´s a workaround. Pass an empty filename object instead. That works.
var file = new(Filename);
GeExecuteProgram(fn,file);

Oh, I misinterpreted as an empty Filename, not an actual empty file! Sorry, eyes were still blurry, no coffee, my dog ate it and ... ;)
Yes, you use an empty Filename object.
