python - Open multiple files from file managers -

i've built (linux) gui application can launched terminal , accepts undefined number of files arguments. app reads sys.argv , lists name of these files in qlistwidget.

the code like:

import sys pyqt4.qtgui import qapplication, qmainwindow, qcoreapplication  class mainwindow(qmainwindow):     def __init__(self, parent=none):         super(mainwindow, self).__init__(parent)          # parse command line arguments         in qcoreapplication.argv()[1:]:             ...  def main():     app = qapplication(sys.argv)     ... 

what want able select multiple files file manager , open them app through "open with..." option provided file managers. how can achieved?

with current code, when try 1 of selected files shown on qlistwidget.

edit:

it seems depends file manager. tried few file managers and...

• pcmanfm: opens 1 of selected files.

• spacefm: works properly!

• dolphin: opens each file different instance of program. if select 3 files open app 3 times, 1 each file.

• nautilus: didn't manage open files it. program not listed in suggested applications , didn't find way it.

there's not enough information give definite answer, but...

first, have checked print sys.argv @ top of code looks expecting?

if so, work if change line...

for in qcoreapplication.argv()[1:]: 

...to...

for in sys.argv[1:]: 

for debugging purposes, might include line...

assert qcoreapplication.argv()[1:] == sys.argv[1:] 

...just before start for-loop.
