someting wrong with currentPath on linux

[Pablik]

Hi i have problem with currentPath on linux (debian).
i write simple code:

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QtGui>
#include <QtCore>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
 
    QLineEdit line;
 
    line.setText(QDir::currentPath()); b
 
    line.show();
 
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QtGui>
#include <QtCore>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);


    QLineEdit line;

    line.setText(QDir::currentPath()); b

    line.show();

    return a.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and now if i build and execute in QtCreator then work, but if i change place binary file then he all time show my home directory (/home/username) . Why ???

thats right. QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath () gets you the path where the binary is installed. QDir::currentPath() gets you the current path, not very surprising. I guess you called the binary from your home directory?
