ok, finally a hopefully not too stupid question.
Here's my code:
void Mandelbrot::exportConfig()
{
KUrl url = KFileDialog::getSaveUrl(
KUrl(),
"*.txt|Text files",
0,
i18n("Save File"),
KFileDialog::ConfirmOverwrite
);
KConfig config(url.fileName());
KConfigGroup configgroup(&config, "Mandelbrot");
save(configgroup);
configgroup.config()->sync();
}
Problem: it doesn't actually write the file. Why?
(The file dialog runs well, but the file isn't actually getting
created, and if i create it beforehand, it doesn't get written).
I had tried following this:
