The RunApplication() method uses
- either the Shell() Basic built-in function
(only in asynchronous mode)
- or the com.sun.star.system.SystemShellExecute()
service
in this order.
The second is tried in case of failure of the first one.
Benefits:
- the method can start batch files or scripts
- broader than Shell(): giving a user file as argument
opens its application first based on the file suffix
- more robust error handling
Read discussion in tdf#160222.
This change could require a light revisit of the
sf_session help page.
