Hi,

Based on your incomplete header file, it seems that you are creating a static QSettings object. Don't do that.

In any case, there's no need to have a class member for QSettings. You should create the object when needed.

@SGaist It seems child QWidget can not use static QSettings.

DatetimeWidget::DatetimeWidget(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent)
{
    QSettings settings(QCoreApplication::organizationName(), QCoreApplication::applicationName());
}

@sonichy said in Child QWidget QSettings crash:

What do you mean? Your code shows getting a QSettings object for your application, no more than that. It's not even static. The fact that you have put the code you show inside a widget is neither here nor there. If something goes wrong with what you have written, you have to say so/what....
