Description

* When an application is launched through the `launch` command, then it will exit as soon as it wants to print something to stdout and/or stderr after the [`p.waitForFinished period`](https://github.com/helloSystem/launch/commit/c238bcc13b8ea1b58b6690c47d073b75013d0156#diff-34d21af3c614ea3cee120df276c9c4ae95053830d7f1d3deaf009a4625409ad2R301) has elapsed
* ~~No output is printed to stdout at all before the `p.waitForFinished period` has elapsed~~ __fixed__ using `p.setProcessChannelMode(QProcess::ForwardedChannels);`
* If `launch Menu` is used to launch the global menu bar, then it will exit if the `p.waitForFinished period` has elapsed and the user then selects any menu item from the System menu (but not from some other menus). Possibly because selecting commands from the System menu makes liberal use of `qDebug()` to print debug information to the console?
* If `qpdf` is launched with the `launch` command, then it will exit after the `p.waitForFinished period` (when set to 3 seconds, possibly because around 3 seconds it wants to write `QKqueueFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: open: No such file or directory` to stderr). Why? (Setting a longer `p.waitForFinished period` might do away with this immediate crash because then the `QKqueueFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: open: No such file or directory` is already written to stderr?)

~~With `p.waitForFinished period` set to 10 seconds, then the `ping` command will exit after 10 seconds, and only then show the output of the `ping` command~~ __fixed__ using `p.setProcessChannelMode(QProcess::ForwardedChannels);`

__Once this is solved, set the time back to e.g., 3 seconds rather than 10.__
