Settings working (restoring) on Mac+Linux, but not Windows

ewmailing

I am trying to use the Settings feature to save user preferences.

Basically, I have:
Settings {
id: userPreferences
property string startUpPath: ""
}

And to make sure I sync the variable on quit, I use Component.onDestruction
Component.onDestruction: {
userPreferences.startUpPath= Global.lastUserPath;
}

Everything has worked so far on Mac and Linux, but I just started testing Windows and I noticed that my variable is always empty every time I launch my program. I put a console.log in my onDestruction: so I see that I'm setting the variable on quit.

Can anybody recommend how to fix this or debug this? I'm very new to Qt and I really have no ideas on how to debug this.

I figured it out. I didn't specify the following in my main.cpp:

app.setOrganizationName("Some Company");
app.setOrganizationDomain("somecompany.com");
app.setApplicationName("Amazing Application");

Strange that OS X or Linux didn't need these, but makes sense why I need this.

Then you should take a look at the bug report system Windows behaving differently looks like a bug
