In the meantime I am falling back on using this:
os.path.expanduser('~/.config/companyName/appName')While this does not give me the OS' native support directory for the respective user at least it's consistent :)
I'd still be interested in a QSettings solution though. Cheers, frank On 2/02/17 4:51 PM, Frank Rueter | OHUfx wrote:
Hi all, I have been using QSettings for reading/writing user settings.All works well until I run my (PySide) application inside a host application that is also written in QT, and which also uses the QSettings object.I am now struggling to understand how I can properly differentiate between the host application's settings instance and my own. In particular, I need to use QSettings().fileName() to determine the correct support path for my ini files for each platform. But this line gives me different values inside and outside the host application:QtCore.QSettings(QtCore.QSettings.IniFormat, QtCore.QSettings.UserScope, "companyName", "appName").fileName() E.g.: Outside the host application I get what I want: /Users/frank/.config/companyName/appName.iniBut the return value is a completely different inside the host app and actually points to the host app's internal file structure.Fair enough too I guess. So my question is:How can I use QSettings to determine support paths etc while making sure that I don't accidentally mess with the host applications QSettings?Cheers, frank _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
