Unsolved Qt WinRT Folder Permission Issue
-
Hi I already posted a question https://forum.qt.io/topic/64442/qt-winrt-app-cannot-access-file-permission-denied regarding ffmpeg library and video file read, and now I think the entire project should have some permission to access/modify the files system in WinRt Qt App.
Below is a simple code which create a directory if not exist, bu this also failing always, so I think it permission issue, and there are something should add on AppxManifest.xml.
QString dirname = QDir::homePath()+"/test"; QDir dir(dirname); if(!dir.exists()) { //dir.mkdir(dirname); if(false==dir.mkpath(dirname)){ qDebug()<<"Creating "<<dirname<<" failed..."; } }
Anyone have faces this before, any suggestion, tips ..
Thanks in Advance.

hi haris,
at least you should use QStandardPaths::writableLocation instead of QDir::home. This returns for the related plattform the paths where the app is allowed to write.

I tried these too
QString dirname = "C:/Users/haris/Videos/";
But still the error.

Hi haris,
this works on winrt:(at least in my project)QDir imagesFolder(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation) + "/afolder/"); if (!imagesFolder.exists()) imagesFolder.mkpath(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation) + "/afolder/");
as far as i remember it returns a path to user/AppData/Roaming/.... That is where since win8 (?) application data should be stored.

Yes the above code works fine, but in my case I need to set path as user decide, it can be anywhere.
