Subclassing QSettings give error on the position of ini file in Linux Kubuntu

[arsinte_andrei]

the problem is that I've made a subclass of the QSettings and I can not set a proper path for the ini file. the app have to work on windows and linux maybe mac but after few years.. not now...

• AtpSettings - the subclassing class
  @
  AtpSettings::AtpSettings(QString iniFileName) {
  QString iniFileNameAndPath;
  iniFileNameAndPath = AtpSettings::getApplicationPath() + "/" + iniFileName;
  qDebug() << iniFileNameAndPath;
  mySettings->setPath(Format::IniFormat, Scope::UserScope, AtpSettings::getApplicationPath());
  mySettings = new QSettings(iniFileNameAndPath ,QSettings::IniFormat);
  mySettings->setDefaultFormat(QSettings::IniFormat);

mySettings->setFallbacksEnabled(false);
}

AtpSettings::~AtpSettings(){
qDebug() <<"Exit AtpSettings";
}

QPoint AtpSettings::getAppPosition(){
return mySettings->value("Appearance/Position", QPoint(500, 700)).toPoint();
}

void AtpSettings::setAppPosition(QPoint pointsPos){
mySettings->setValue("Appearance/Position", pointsPos);
qDebug() << mySettings->fileName();
}

QSize AtpSettings::getAppSize(){
return mySettings->value("Appearance/Size", QSize(1000, 800)).toSize();
}

void AtpSettings::setAppSize(QSize appSize){
mySettings->setValue("Appearance/Size", appSize);
qDebug() << mySettings->fileName();
}

QString AtpSettings::getApplicationPath() {
QDir dirName(QApplication::applicationDirPath());
qDebug() << dirName.path();
return dirName.path();
}
@

• AtpMainWindow
  @
  AtpMainWindow::AtpMainWindow(QWidget *parent, bool hasMdiArea) : QMainWindow(parent){
  qDebug()<<"Start AtpMainWindow" << hasMdiArea;
  settingsMainWindow = new AtpSettings();
  qDebug() << settingsMainWindow->fileName();
  setWindowTitle("@atp@");

AtpSingleApplication singleApp = dynamic_cast<AtpSingleApplication> (qApp);
if (singleApp!=NULL) {
singleApp->setActivationWindow(this);
}
readSettings();
}

AtpMainWindow::~AtpMainWindow(){
qDebug()<<"Exit AtpMainWindow";
}

void AtpMainWindow::quit() {
emit closeRequested();
QMainWindow::close();
}

//event on close mainWindow
void AtpMainWindow::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *e) {
qDebug()<<"Start closeEvent";
if (maybeSave()) {
writeSettings();
e->accept();
QApplication::quit();
} else {
e->ignore();
}
}

//save any unsaved data
bool AtpMainWindow::maybeSave(){
return true;
}

//Restores the application window settings (size, position, ...).
void AtpMainWindow::readSettings() {
qDebug()<<"readSettings";
qDebug() << settingsMainWindow->fileName();
QPoint windowPos = settingsMainWindow->getAppPosition();
QSize windowSize = settingsMainWindow->getAppSize();
resize(windowSize);
move(windowPos);
}

// Stores the application window settings (size, position, ...).
void AtpMainWindow::writeSettings() {
qDebug()<<"writeSettings";
qDebug() << settingsMainWindow->fileName();
settingsMainWindow->setAppPosition(pos());
settingsMainWindow->setAppSize(size());
qDebug() << settingsMainWindow->fileName();
}
@

now in AtpSettings eveything is ok.. all the paths read fine and are corectly displayed by qDebug() << but on AtpMainWindow the output is different on the qDebug()<<. In @AtpMainWindow::AtpMainWindow(QWidget *parent, bool hasMdiArea) : QMainWindow(parent)@ is okit put the ini next to the exe file or executable file in linux, but on the @void AtpMainWindow::readSettings() @ and @void AtpMainWindow::writeSettings() @ it display a different path and i do not change the path anywhere as you can see.

• AtpMainWindow.h
  @private:
  AtpSettings settingsMainWindow;@

  is true I have declared this in
• main.cpp
  @app->setOrganizationName("atp");
  app->setOrganizationDomain("atp-trading.com");
  app->setApplicationName("@atp@");
  app->setApplicationVersion("1");
  app->setApplicationDisplayName("atp");@
  but i do not understand why is changing the path?? where??

Hi,

@
mySettings->setPath(Format::IniFormat, Scope::UserScope, AtpSettings::getApplicationPath());
mySettings = new QSettings(iniFileNameAndPath ,QSettings::IniFormat);
@

You are overwriting mySettings. Just out of curiosity, why are you subclassing QSettings ? It doesn't seem that you really need it.

[arsinte_andrei]

just because i'm saving some specific dataand I want to have a file that is dealing with setting all settings - they are in different files but only one main class deal with settings and that is AtpSettings
