QT USB support

[astoffregen]

I am looking for a simple way in qt to determine if a usb device is in use (stick is inserted, stick is pulled).

Starting point is visual studio, qt 6.4.3 and qt vs tools.

Target system is windows and linux.

What i found so far is an old git project, QDeviceWatcher.

But is there any possibility to solve this with QT on-board tools (QSerialPort or similar)?

So what usb device to you want to watch? A disk or a serial device?

This likely means a storage device but a USB stick can be:

• Storage
• Bluetooth dongle
• WiFi dongle
• Serial port
  etc.

Depending on your exact needs, KDE's Solid framework might be of interest.
