Add a new function to the XDGDesktop class:

QString generateExec(QStringList inputfiles, QString ActionID);

This will automatically evaluate the input file's syntax and adjust as needed for the application to recognize/run the file. Similarly it will perform all the substitutions and such as necessary to end up with a fully-formatted executable command which can easily be launched with QProcess as necessary.
