Implemented in r486. Below are some remarks about the implementation.
In the absence of the native guidelines, locations in the DesktopServices::storageLocation() call that don't have de facto standard values on the OS/2 platform, are interpreted according to the XDG guidelines (used on Linux). The following table summarizes it (parenthesis contain the default if the value isn't explicitly specified):
location | value |
HomeLocation? | QDir::homePath() |
TempLocation? | QDir::tempPath() |
CacheLocation? | %XDG_CACHE_HOME% (%HOME%/.cache) [*1] |
DataLocation? | %XDG_DATA_HOME% (%HOME%/.local/share) [*1] |
DesktopLocation? | XDG_DESKTOP_DIR [*2] (WinQueryActiveDesktopPathname?())) |
---|---|
DocumentsLocation? | XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR [*2] (%HOME%/Documents) |
PicturesLocation? | XDG_PICTURES_DIR [*2] (%HOME%/Pictures) |
MusicLocation? | XDG_MUSIC_DIR [*2] (%HOME%/Music) |
MoviesLocation? | XDG_VIDEOS_DIR [*2] (%HOME%/Videos) |
ApplicationsLocation? | %PROGRAMS% (<boot_drv>:/PROGRAMS) |
FontsLocation? | %FONTS% (<boot_drv>:/PSFONTS) |

QDesktopServices::displayName() on OS/2 reurns nothing, same as on Windows and Linux.
QDesktopServices::openUrl() uses the HINI_USER_PROFILE\WPURLDEFAULTSETTINGS registry key to determine the default web browser, e-mail client and other supported applications. On a modern eCS system, that means that clicking URLs in Qt applications will open Firefox/Thunderbird? out of the box.
If the URL to open is a local file or directory, WPS associations will be used to open it.
Created the dummy implementation in r132. The real functionality (things like opening URLs) is irrelevant for the beta.
