What may be the error in following syntax?

[pratik041]

@QSettings* s = new QSettings(QDir::currentPath() + "/my_file.ini" , QSettings::IniFormat);@

Here if .ini file does not exist it should create new file but it is not creating.

Check the path you're trying to create the file on.

[pratik041]

i have checked the path is correct

[fluca1978]

Uhm..could it be a problem with the path separator? Have you tried to debug/print the real file name that is created?
If that is correct, I will try to create an empty file in such directory to see if there is also a permission problem.

[pratik041]

one thing i notice that if we will setvalue for the first time then only file will be created if it doesn't exist.

In the documentation you find:
@Constructs a QSettings object for accessing the settings stored in the file called fileName, with parent parent. If the file doesn't already exist, it is created.
@
However, that is apparently not completely correct. I have just created an object with a fixed path and iniformat. I have not done anythingelse with that object. It was not created.
When I set a value as you have as you have indicated, the ini-file will be created.

So QSettings will only create a file, when information is available to be stored.

Do you have write access to the QDir::currentPath() directory ?

Code is ok. As koahnig told, it will create the ini file, only when you set a value.
If no values are there, you wouldn't need an empty file right ?
