change path of settings ini file

Bad choice if you expect it to work on Windows Vista or 7 which prohibit unprivileged writing in the Program Files directories. If someone installs the software there it will likely fail.

true, but as i said it`s a portable program, ie you are not meant to install it.
Thanks guys, that did the trick.

alright, here i am again.

I am tempted to save projekt files (basically a bunch of numbers) on a per-projekt basis to .ini files. This is a popular request, everyone seems to love .ini file and hate my .xml s. :/

QSettings::setPath(QSettings::IniFormat, QSettings::UserScope, "c:\\");
QSettings settings(QSettings::IniFormat, QSettings::UserScope, "projekt123", "inifile");

settings.setValue("projx/asdf", QVariant((quint32)1234589));
settings.sync();

THis works fine.
However:

- i have to cheat by passing ( "projekt123", "inifile") to the constructor to get a wanted filename.
- i change the path to "c:\". How can i get the previously set path as to restore it once i am done saving the projekt?


I feel like i am abusing the QSettigns class a little for this. Does Qt offer any specialzed way for storing data in .ini files?
