Process Launcher
The application demonstrates the launch of binary modules via QProcess
Process scenarios
The application implements two scenarios to show different ways of interaction with processes.
String encoding process
A process that is running in the background with data transmission over a socket. The user can start and stop a process that is a socket server. The server receives an http request with a string to encode, then the server encodes it, falls in sleep for 10 seconds and sends the encoded string as a response.
Image compression process
A process that performs a single task with interaction via stdout. The user can start a process that gets the path to the image to compress via stdin. After compression, the process sends the path to the compressed image via stdout and turns off. The application takes the image path from stdout and shows it to the user.

- icons directory contains the additional custom UI icons.
-
pages directory contains the application pages.
- MainPage.qml file describes the initial page of the application, which contains buttons to run a scenario of interacting with processes.
- ImageCompressionPage.qml file describes the page for managing the image compression process.
- StringEncoderPage.qml file describes the page for managing the string encoding process.
- ProcessLauncher.qml file provides the application window implementation.
-
src directory contains the C++ source code.
- main.cpp file is the application entry point.
- translations directory contains the UI translation files.
-
encoding_server directory contains the string encoding server subproject:
- CMakeLists.txt file describes the string encoding server subproject structure for the CMake build system.
- src directory contains the C++ source code.
-
image_compressor directory contains the image compressor subproject:

Compatibility
The project is compatible with all the current versions of the Aurora OS.
Usage
On the initial page of the application, select "Encode a string" or "Compress image process" to go to the page of the required process.
String encoding process
- Start the process.
- Enter the string you want to encode.
- Click "Encode" and wait until the encoded string is displayed under the control buttons. You can stop the process at any time, then the encoding will be interrupted. When the string encoding page is closed, the process is stopped.
Image compression process
Select the image you want to compress. After selecting it, the compression process will start immediately. The process can be stopped during execution. If the process has been stopped, it can be started again with the same image. When the compression process is completed, a file with a compressed image will be created in the file system. You can see the compressed image by clicking the "See result" button.
