Standard path save location

[naax]

Hello guys, Can you help me with how I can save my data on every device using a standard path?
I think the best location to save is my application folder.

    QFile file("C:/Users/<USER>/Documents");
    if (file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text))
    {
        qDebug() << "SAVED";
            QTextStream stream(&file);
....

@naax You are trying to open a directory like a file.
Add a file name you want to use:

QFile file(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DesktopLocation) + "/somefile.txt");

Golden rule of Qt is: when you need a class, search the docs for the first name that comes to your head :-)

And there is, just like you guessed, a class named QStandardPaths.

You need to use the writableLocation() function.

Nice, I got it, but "Access is denied."

I have Antivirus turned off but still the same problem.

@naax said in Standard path save location:

"Access is denied."

What is the patch you're trying to access when you get this error?

@jsulm

    QFile file(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DesktopLocation));

I'm trying this actually, but i cant delete -j

Ok, it's work. If I want to load it I'm using the same function, right?

@naax yes
