    Hi i have problem with currentPath on linux (debian).
    i write simple code:
    [code]
    #include <QtGui/QApplication>
    #include <QtGui>
    #include <QtCore>

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QLineEdit line;
    
    line.setText(QDir::currentPath()); b
    
    line.show();
    
    return a.exec&#40;&#41;;
    

    }
    [/code]

    and now if i build and execute in QtCreator then work, but if i change place binary file then he all time show my home directory (/home/username) . Why ???

      1. Create a launcher(xxxxx.desktop) for your application, then set currentPath in this file, and start your application using the launcher.

      2. Create a shell script for your application, set current path evn in the script.

      3. launch your application in a Terminal.

      4. ....


      In addition, do you really want to show currentPath in your LineEdit? or what you want is application's directory?

          What you need is
          @
          QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath ()
          @

          Current Pah, also known as Current Working Directory, is a basic but important concept.
