How to copy a pdf to specific Directory and rename it
-
Hi all,
Thanks for the quick reply. It gave me already a good way to go.
Now It think I do something stupid. This is my code.maintenanceType = ui->maintenanceType_Combo->currentText(); reductionSN = ui->ReductionSN_lineEdit->text(); resp = ui->resp_lineEdit->text(); dateMydate = ui->dateEdit_maintenance->date(); QString Date = dateMydate.toString("dd/MM/yyyy"); QString pdfPath = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,tr("Search report"), "C://", "PDF (*.pdf)"); QMessageBox::information(this,tr("Load report"),pdfPath); QString name = reductionSN + " -- " + Date + " -- " + maintenanceType + " -- " + resp + ".pdf"; qDebug()<<name; QString newPath = "//SARWOLVM180/Technical Documentation/Kranen/Algemeen/10 Jaarlijkse inspectie/Database/Report/" + name ; qDebug()<<newPath; bool success = QFile::copy(pdfPath,newPath); qDebug()<<success;When I run this I get the following output:
When I push the addMaintenance button I get the following output
mincore\com\oleaut32\dispatch\ups.cpp(2128)\OLEAUT32.dll!74BD5072: (caller: 74BDFE4F) ReturnHr(1) tid(cd8) 8002801D Library not registered. shell\comdlg32\fileopensave.cpp(14267)\comdlg32.dll!74647C7D: (caller: 746768FC) ReturnHr(1) tid(cd8) 80004005 Unspecified error CallContext:[\PickerModalLoop]When I click OK on the messagebox I get the following output:
"72802057740 -- 27/02/2018 -- Oil change -- MMM.pdf" "//SARWOLVM180/Technical Documentation/Kranen/Algemeen/10 Jaarlijkse inspectie/Database/Report/72802057740 -- 27/02/2018 -- Oil change -- MMM.pdf" falseSo the file doesn't get copied at all.
Now I was wondering is the in the first step or the second step?Anybody a clue?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards@TMJJ001
does the directory//SARWOLVM180/Technical Documentation/Kranen/Algemeen/10 Jaarlijkse inspectie/Database/Report/already exist?
I am not sure if QFile::copy() takes care of this.It may be that you need to ensure that the target path is already created:
QFileInfo(filePath).absoluteDir().mkpath(".") -

QFileInfo(filePath).absoluteDir().mkpath(".")Yes the directory does already excists. This is the directory to my server.
I copied some files to this dir manually and I can access them with the following code:QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile(RP));Where RP is the following:
\\SARWOLVM180\Technical Documentation\Kranen\Algemeen\10 Jaarlijkse inspectie\Database\Report\72802057740 -- 19012018 -- Rebuild -- BoschRexroth.pdfSo I don't think this is the issue

Does the application or the context wherein it lives have the correct rights to create files ?
Another thing what you could try is to convert the forward slashes to backward slashes. You can use the following function to do that:QDir::toNativeSeperators() -

You're using slashes for the date notation, you should use dashes instead. That should fix it.
Graag gedaan. -

dashes are
-, if you mean backslashes\also no. Qt (QFile at least) supports//for UNC paths. -
@raven-worx I'm aware of that but if you take a close look at his code you see the following:
QString Date = dateMydate.toString("dd/MM/yyyy");The Date object is being used to compose the destination filename as seen here:
QString name = reductionSN + " -- " + Date + " -- " + maintenanceType + " -- " + resp + ".pdf";As he showed in an earlier post the destination path becomes this:
"//SARWOLVM180/Technical Documentation/Kranen/Algemeen/10 Jaarlijkse inspectie/Database/Report/72802057740 -- 27/02/2018 -- Oil change -- MMM.pdf"Since he doesn't do
mkpathbefore the file copy there is a big chance that the folder Report/ doesn't contain a directory named:72802057740 -- 27which contains 02 as subdir and that one haves 2018 as subdir.So if he use dashes instead of slashes to get the Date object to copy will probably work. Another way is to create the complete directory structure using the
mkpathfunction. -

Sorry to chime in, I just want to verify: it works? If yes then it means Qt does now support copying to samba shares, cool :-)
