Yes... ;-) BTW, what does the DBus stuff do? I didn't find anything about it in the docs... And here I have an other one: can't we use QDesktopServices::storageLocation(QDesktopServices::CacheLocation) to initialise the cache folder? The docs <http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qdesktopservices.html#StandardLocation-enum> say that this "Returns a directory location where user-specific non-essential (cached) data should be written." I have no idea what you get on Win or Linux; on OS X the returned path is "/Users/<user name>/Library/Caches/QLandkarteGT/QLandkarteGT" (as both the application and the organisation name are set to "QLandkarteGT") which is the "usual" place a OS X user would expect (actually *including* the space in "QLandkarte GT", but that would be nitpicking...). The advantage is that if the user has an encrypted home folder (FileVault), the cache will also be protected. Maybe it is possible to drop the conditional compilation for Win if a "reasonable" value is returned. As the value is configurable through the GUI, I also think checking the environment variable might be dropped. The trivial patch is included below. Cheers, Albrecht.
