[Interest] How to set QtQuickControls Slider to an initial value without modifying the current saved?

[Nuno Santos]

Thx J-P,

I was reading Settings documentation and I have just stumbled on the following sentence:

"Writing a setting value using one instance of Settings does not update the value in another Settings instance, even if they are referring to the same setting in the same category.”

This is ultra limiting. My current approach relies precisely on this features. I have a QSettings class exposed to QML and every time I change a setting on a side of the code, the setting is automatically propagated across all the respective binded properties.

Thanks

QML Settings is indeed very useful, but still far from optimal. :) It's safe to use in the sense that it's not going anywhere at least for the lifetime of Qt 5, but a better alternative is expected to arrive later.
