Hopefully docs will be updated too. If you attempt to use this module in an app today, it will attempt to store the app's config in: ~/.config/qt-labs.org/applicationName.conf (as observed on 14.10 desktop) Of course, this is not allowed on the phone due to AppArmor confinement. The documentation here: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qsettings.html#platform-specific-notes makes it seem like we should be hitting case #2 for Unix: $HOME/.config/MySoft.conf but that is not what I observe. Additionally, I can't seem to set my app's organization either, to try and make it hit case #1: Qt.application.organization: "com.canonical.achiang" But then I see an error on the console: Non-existent attached object Finally, in general, it would be nice if the SDK provided some way for Ubuntu apps to work better with AppArmor settings. As per: http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/apps/security-policy-for-click-packages/ --- The application will have read/write access files in the standard XDG base directories. Specifically: XDG_CACHE_HOME/<APP_PKGNAME> XDG_CONFIG_HOME/<APP_PKGNAME> XDG_DATA_HOME/<APP_PKGNAME> XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/confined/<APP_PKGNAME> --- However, reading environment variables from QML is prohibitively hard (requires a C++ plugin). It would be better if the SDK provided helpers for those specific variables so apps don't have to write a plugin just to read those variables. We have simply worked around this by hard coding: "~/.config" but that is obviously not very nice, and might also fail in a language other than English, where XDG_CONFIG_HOME != ".config" ...
