[Interest] Difference between QProcess::execute() and QProcess::start()

"int QProcess::execute(const QString & command)

Starts the program command in a new process, waits for it to finish, and
then returns the exit code."

==> synchronous call


"void QProcess::start(const QString & program, const QStringList &
arguments, OpenMode mode = ReadWrite)

Note: Processes are started asynchronously, which means the started()
and error() signals may be delayed. Call waitForStarted() to make sure
the process has started (or has failed to start) and those signals have
been emitted."

==> *a*synchronous call


I think that's *a* big difference :)
