Hi all,

I currently developing a Linux application which uses some external xml files to hold report schemas, etc.

Under Linux those files are normally stored in /usr/share/<app_name> or /usr/share/local/<app_name>, as the user should not be allowed to change them. I could include them as resources in the binary directly, but prefer to have them outside.

Now my question, how do I know in the source code where do find the xml filse?

For QFile I have to specify a filename, but the file could be anywhere on the harddisc. Is there a prefered way to deal with this? I'm surely not the only one trying to use "external" files.

Many thanks.

Marco
