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.ini
But 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
