[Qt-interest] How do I remove " " from a QSettings

[David Boosalis]

Thank you for the reply Andreas.

I first tried to ignore the double quotes QSettings put into the ini file. I
simply would write it out to a  file with the double quotes and then read in
the file a line at a time and strip them out.  Then I noticed that QSettings
was setting a backward slash to a forward slash (or was it vise versa).
Here I gave up on QSettings for writting ini files and just wrote them out
myself
