QSettings not connecting to .ini file

 

Hi,

I have a .ini file states.ini which I am trying to connect to QSettings. To test it out, in my .ini file I have

  1. [screen]
  2. position="one"
  3. [myConnection]
  4. ip="162.30.0.5"
  5. port=6543

In my Qt c++, I have
  1.     QSettings settings(QString("folderWithinHome/subfolder/states.ini"), QSettings::IniFormat);
  2.     QString someValue = settings.value("myConnection/ip", "none").toString();
  3.     qDebug() << someValue;

However, this returns “none.” Any ideas as to why it doesn’t correctly find the ip address in the .ini file?

You have provided a relative file path to the ini file. My bet is that the current working directory of the running program is not what you think it is.
