Some questions on QSettings settings(filePath,QSettings::IniFormat);

[Qt Enthusiast]

As I understand , QSettings settings(filePath,QSettings::IniFormat) is to create QSettings object from file and the file is in ini format.

In my case the os is linux and the user file is in .conf file format . The user .conf file is in same format when the tools save thes file

// app setting needed for QSettings
184 setOrganizationDomain("abc.com");
185 setOrganizationName("ABC");
186 setApplicationName(XYZPRODUCT_NAME);

My query is in the example is settings file

object%20 color = #00ffff

now questions is why os %20 is inserted in .conf file for spaces in key name ?

I already went through but

On Unix, this means textual configuration files in INI format. so on unix it is same as ini format

On Unix, NativeFormat and IniFormat mean the same thing, except that the file extension is different (.conf for NativeFormat, .ini for IniFormat).
