Qt how to open a file in current dir ? or what's wrong with this?

Question

I\'m trying to open an xml file in the current location of the executable

        QString path = QDir::currentPath();
        path.append(\"/acc.xml\");
          


        

Answer 1

Check the returned value of QDir::currentPath(). I think when you run from Qt Creator, it returns the path where the project file (*.pro) is located. When you run from outside, you get path of the binary.

Edit

I never worked with Linux. However, you can try other functions/combinations from QDir:

• QDir::current().path()
• QDir::current().absolutePath()

etc.
