qsettings

According to Qt's docs for the latest Qt version, looking at QSettings , they say that system scope of settings on a Mac are stored in a directory /etc/xdg. Unfortunately, I'm not finding this to be the case on Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite. Where do they store these settings? I mean, I've gotten QSettings to work in this example , but no /etc/xdg folder is to be found even when I do sudo su and assume root on my Mac in order to access that folder. On a MacOS, $HOME/Library/Preferences/ should be the location for user settings, while /Library/Preferences/ is the path for default settings (and a user

#include "mainwindow.h" #include "ui_mainwindow.h" #include <QSettings> #include <QDebug> MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), ui(new Ui::MainWindow) { ui->setupUi(this); QSettings * qsettings = new QSettings(":/config.ini",QSettings::IniFormat); bool status = qsettings->value("preview","").toBool(); qDebug() << status; } MainWindow::~MainWindow() { delete ui; } Once i could do it but now i don't know whats wrong. When i googled this problem i just saw that this impossible but i enshure that i did it before. This works like a charm for me: main.qrc <!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC

I'm using QSettings to store some data as ini file in Windows. I want to see the ini file, but I don't know what is the location of the ini file. This is my code: QSettings *set = new QSettings(QSettings::IniFormat, QSettings::UserScope, "bbb", "aaa"); set->setValue("size", size()); set->setValue("pos", pos()); Where do I have to look? Or may be I miss the code which write it to the file? When does the QSettings write its values? To print out the exact location of your settings file use method fileName method of QSettings class. QSettings settings("folderName", "fileName"); qDebug() <<

There are two possible ways: load all settings into some struct load values on-demand Which approach is better? It depends on the way you will use your settings file . Do you want to allow the user of your application to dynamically change the settings in the file (.ini file for example) ? Or the settings have to be set by the GUI ? If you are using some GUI to change the settings, I advice you you to load the main settings at the start of your application from a static class for example. void SettingsManager::loadSettings() { // .ini format example QSettings settings(FileName, QSettings:

I'm using QSettings to store some settings in an INI file. However, my program is not in English, so some of the settings contain Unicode strings. It seems that Qt writes INI files not in utf8 or utf16, but in some other encoding, the string "Привет мир!" (rus. "Hello world!") looks like this: WindowTitle=\x41f\x440\x438\x432\x435\x442 \x43c\x438\x440! I want to edit settings file by hand, but I can't quite work with it like this. Is there a way to force Qt to save in Unicode? Check the setIniCodec function of QSettings Sets the codec for accessing INI files (including .conf files on Unix) to

I am Using PyQt5 and Py3.7, I am trying to loop through all my Qlistwidgets and save their string data, but also save all selected items on that widget. I slightly modified the loop from here , but am having some trouble getting the selected items to save and restore using the listwidget array loop. I checked the docs but can't seem to understand how to add additional options into the array (such as save all selected items), from the Qt docs for SetArrayIndex, here . My listWidgets have selectionMode set to MultiSelection. I am currently saving using this: def save_list_data(self): self
