[lygstate]

I wan't to do relative path evaluation.

Hi,

Check "resolvedUrl":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qml-qtqml-qt.html#resolvedUrl-method if its useful.
To get current directory try,
@
Qt.resolvedUrl(".")
@

I hope this works, but the fact is that didn't satisfy my requirement
source: {
console.log(Qt.resolvedUrl("./../"))
return "D:/CI/AVA/PedestrianV2/data/subway.avi"
}

Sorry but can you make more clear how you want the path ?

[lygstate]

sorry for unclear statement, I checked the result ofQt.resolvedUrl("."), Its give s me qrc:/// and that's not I wanted, I want the absolute path of the application's executable file's containing directory. such as
@D:/path/to/demo.exe @
then I am looking for
@D:/path/to/@

Hi,

@lygstate, have you included the QML file in the qrc ?

[lygstate]

Yes, you are right, i included it in qrc file,

Try

@QDir::currentpath()@

And pass the result to your qml file

I also using the C++ and I believe the performance is better

You can use the baseUrl() reported by the engine.

Hello!
I know its an old post, but I came across and didn't find what I was looking for so I solved it like this:

In your main.cpp add one new context property to your engine like this:

engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("CurDirPath", QString(QDir::currentPath()));

Than use it on your Qml side like:

Component.onCompleted: {
    console.log("Your current dir path: " + CurDirPath)
}

Hope it helps for future visitors.

For anyone reading this: the question title asked for "application dir ". All solutions using QDir::currentPath(), or for that matter QDir(), do not return that, they return the process's current/working directory

Depending on what .is meant by "the application dir", you may want QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() or even QFileInfo(argv[0]).dir().absolutePath(), but I don't know how those fare with a QML application.
