How to reapply checkbox settings as stored in settings file

[cerr]

I have stored checkState() items from a QWidgetList(with Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable set) in a QSettings file that I would like to restore(including the CheckState. i have tried the following:

QSettings *sttngs = new QSettings(QSettings::NativeFormat,QSettings::UserScope,"GNU","SCAPER",nullptr);
nme_set(sttngs->value("name").toString());
fname_set(sttngs->value("path").toString());
sttngs->beginGroup("tooloptions");
	
list = new QListWidget(this);
item = new QListWidgetItem(list);
item->setFlags(item->flags() | Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable);
foreach(const QString &key, sttngs->childKeys()) {
	Qt::CheckState state = (Qt::CheckState) sttngs->value(key).toInt();
	item->setCheckState(state);
	item->setText(key);
	list->addItem(item);
}

but it only gives me one list item "unrecog" that is not part of the list stored in the QSettings file (~/.config/GNU/scaper/SCAPER.conf`)

Hi,

You are always re-adding the same item rather than creating a new one each time the loop iterates.

Uh! You're exactly right! Thanks for opening my eyes and pointing me in the right direction!
