Unsolved Do Qt Programs Have Permssion to Copy Files to the Users Directory?
-
I am trying to copy a file from a qrc resource location to a temporary location where microsoft word can open it. The
copy()
method in the code below returns false. Any ideas why? I think it might be because the program doesn't have permission to copy the file to the user directory.const QString GNULicenseCopyDirectory = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::TempLocation); if (QFile::exists(GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx")) { QFile::remove(GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx"); } bool results = QFile::copy(":/resources/Copying.docx", GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx"); QDesktopServices::openUrl("file:///" + GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx");

Hi,
Are you sure the qrc path is correct ?
You should also consider putting the path to the temp file in a variable. You are calling
GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx"
four times thus it means that if you modify the file name for whatever reasons, you'll have to do it also four times.
