     Hi,

       yes, we can use the Ipc command to communicate with the external tool, especially the .exe file. but here, i met a problem, i want to call the "gimp" a system viewer tool (view image) in linux, and i want to call it in my form by pushing a button, so can you give me some opinions?

    Regards,
