[Qt-interest] Strange problem with QFile

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

I would like to add to the previous answer:
You currently working folder depends on the way you start application.
Your installer could specify different folder into shortcut (Start in field).

You specify a relative path instead of a absolute path in QFile constructor.
So, the exact path is determined by your current working directory.

Another thing I have noticed...
My installation creates a shortcut on my Desktop.

It seems that when I run the program from the shortcut, QFile makes the file on the Desktop. When I run it from the exe in the installation folder, it will make the file in that directory.

Any ideas how to avoid this ??

Best regards,
Patric

Hi,
I have strange problem here.

QFile devicesFile(devices.txt);

I use this to create a file. When I start my program from QT Creator, the file is saved in the workspace\Project\debug or release folder. So it's not a problem.

But when I made my installation package, this file is now saved on my desktop instead of my program installation directory.
Does anyone know where might be the reason for this ?

Regards,
Patric
