Open Relative Local File
-
I'm trying to open a PDF file stored in my working directory. I know openUrl() needs a full path. How can I generate the full path of the current directory, then supply it here to open? I want this to run correctly regardless of where the tarball was extracted.
I imagine I would have to use QDir::currentPath() then append the PDF filename. I'm not sure how to do that though.
Thanks!

QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile("./UserGuide.pdf"));

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Do you mean that the file is in the same folder as the application ?
In that case you can use
@QString applicationPath = QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath()
QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile(applicationPath + "/UserGuide.pdf"));@Hope it helps
