How do I create a directory ?

[Sergex]

Hello,

I have an application in which I need to save files into a directory. First I have a QDialog in which I fill in some information through combo-boxes and Line edits and when hitting the OK button I want to create a directory with a specified name in the home directory.

So if I set the name to "myDirectory" I want to be able to see (in Windows explorer for example) a folder created with the name "myDirectory" to later save files into that folder. The whole path would be C:/Users/home/myDirectory

I tried doing something like this:

void myDialog::createDirectory()
{
    QString filePath = QDir::homePath() + "/" + m_Name;
 
    QDir dir;
    dir.mkdir(m_Name);
}

void myDialog::createDirectory()
{
    QString filePath = QDir::homePath() + "/" + m_Name;

    QDir dir;
    dir.mkdir(m_Name);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

What am I missing to make this work??

Thank you.

Judging from the manual (http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/QDir.html#mkdir), "you're doing it wrong".

void myDialog::createDirectory()
{
    QString filePath = QDir::homePath();
 
    QDir dir(filePath);
    dir.mkdir(m_Name);
}

void myDialog::createDirectory()
{
    QString filePath = QDir::homePath();

    QDir dir(filePath);
    dir.mkdir(m_Name);
}

void myDialog::createDirectory()
{
    QString filePath = QDir::homePath();
 
    QDir dir(filePath);
    dir.mkdir(m_Name);
}

void myDialog::createDirectory()
{
    QString filePath = QDir::homePath();

    QDir dir(filePath);
    dir.mkdir(m_Name);
}

Or just

QDir::home().mkdir(m_Name);

QDir::home().mkdir(m_Name);
