Hi again, I fixed the issue with applicationName() and also figured out why setApplicationName() didn't work for me. Basically I had a global Database object that got initalized before main() was called, therefore setting applicationName in main would have no effect in Database. Database is now an object created on the heap to which all objects that need to use it get a pointer. QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation) now correctly returns "/home/nemo/.local/share/harbour-myapp/" however, setting it as a path does not work for me /harbour-myapp directory doesn't get created and my database doesn't get saved. Saving my data to /home/nemo/.local/share/ still works if I set the path manually, I just cannot save the data in my corresponding subdirectory with QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation)
Help would be greatly appricated Kris On 6 August 2014 14:20, Krisztian Olah <fasza2mob...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I just noticed that application name is not set and > QCoreApplication::applicationName() returns empty string.
