There is some work on this for Qt 5 AFAIK, but for Qt 4 you don't have it.

My solution has so far been to have a QObject derived class that reads 
and writes with QSettings. I expose this singleton object to the qml and 
it has properties for each of the settings.

I'm not thrilled about this solution, so if someone else has a better 
one, I'd love to hear about it.

If you take a look at the examples, you will see that some of them has 
settings in a javascript file. This is basically the same idea as mine, 
just done in javascript instead of c++. No better, no worse, IMHO, and 
still not great.
