Do Qt Programs Have Permssion to Copy Files to the Users Directory?

[brazz]

I am trying to copy a file from a qrc resource location to a temporary location where microsoft word can open it. The copy() method in the code below returns false. Any ideas why? I think it might be because the program doesn't have permission to copy the file to the user directory.

const QString GNULicenseCopyDirectory = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::TempLocation);
if (QFile::exists(GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx"))
    {
        QFile::remove(GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx");
    }
bool results = QFile::copy(":/resources/Copying.docx",
GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx");
QDesktopServices::openUrl("file:///" + GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx");

Hi,

Are you sure the qrc path is correct ?

You should also consider putting the path to the temp file in a variable. You are calling GNULicenseCopyDirectory + "/COPYINGtemp.docx" four times thus it means that if you modify the file name for whatever reasons, you'll have to do it also four times.
