KConfigGroup always saves it's data per-user. config(group) is for when you want to store data to more than one group, this function lets you choose which group to store options to. > Alternatively, there is the qt QSettings which places stuff in > $HOME/.config/organization/app.config or something like that for which I might > use organization name "plasmoid" or "plasma" and my applet name. > > Which is best to use for my plasmoid? > > (Both have isomorphic calls and the KConfigGroup probably calls QSettings or > its parent.) KConfigGroup has absolutely *nothing* to do with QSettings. QSettings should probably only be used if your program can be compiled as QT or KDE, then you can share settings between both the KDE & QT versions. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
