[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] launching maemo applications with parameters

Hello -

I'm developing an application for the 770 using Python (1.1), and I can't
figure out how to launch any of the native Maemo applications (web
browser, image viewer) with parameters (e.g. the name of a file to
open) from my code. I'm specifically interested in launching
image-viewer to display a particular image file. Making a system call
to /usr/bin/image-viewer  does indeed launch the image viewer, but it
doesn't seem
possible to provide it with parameters.

I know that PyMaemo 2.0 will have DBus support, and this will enable
me to achieve this, but in the meantime, does anyone know how to get
the same effect from the command line ?

Thanks
Dan
