Copy a file with Read and Write Permissions

[carles.sole.grau]

Hi everybody,
when I'm copying a file in c++ on Qt:

QFile::copy( ":/myFolder/old.txt","./myFolder/new.txt");

The new file has only Read Permissions,

How can I convert this file to write too?

Thank you very much

Hi @carles.sole.grau,

How can I convert this file to write too?

I haven't tested this, but it looks like you would use QFile::setPermissions:

QFile::copy( ":/myFolder/old.txt","./myFolder/new.txt");
QFile::setPermissions("./myFolder/new.txt", QFileDevice::ReadOwner|QFileDevice::WriteOwner);

Cheers.

Hi,

QFile::setPermission is what you are looking for.

Be aware of the warning about ACL.

Yes, it works fine, thank you.
