We use QT with QSettings mechanism for saving config files in a portable way (i would like to avoid to put any OS specific code inside meshlab) The mechanism i am going to implement is the following An asking dialog popup at first run. The result of the dialog will be saved in a persistent place using qsettings. If this value is already set No dialog will never popup (so an installer can set these values before first run) Hopefully this should suffice :) P. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
