Hey guys,
While trying to build a little app to show the issue, I understood what I was
doing wrong:
I was calling QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::CacheLocation)
in the constructor of my c++ class and storing the result.
And in the main(), I was instantiating this c++ class before calling
SailfishApp::application(argc, argv);
So the app name was not yet set, thus I was storing a bad path.
Vesku, you are right, QStandardPaths use applicationName and organizationName
when constructing paths.
The only thing that I don't understand is why it was working from the Terminal,
but that's not that important :)
Thanks for your answers!!
Sylvain.

Subject: Re: [SailfishDevel] QStandardPaths not working when app is run from
Launcher
Hi,
I think QStandardPaths use applicationName and organizationName
when constructing paths.
So solution would be something like
app->setApplicationName("harbour-yourapp");
app->setOrganizationName("harbour-yourapp");
And then QStandardPaths will start giving paths that follow
harbour guidance.

Vesku

Hi,
Can you please provide a small sample demonstrating this? As
I’m quite sure it works for our own uses.

Hey,
My app did not want to read the some cached content it
was supposed to have written in QStandardPaths::CacheLocation.
To understand why, I tried to run it from the terminal,
and... everything is working fine.
Since we don't have logs when we run the app directly
from Launcher, I updated it to display some logs
directly in the UI and I figured out that, when the app
is run from the Launcher on the actual device (it's ok
on the emulator), QStandardPaths does not work
correctly:
QStandardPaths::CacheLocation returns
/home/nemo/.cache/mdeclarativecache_pre_initialized_qapplication-XXXXX
XXXXX is a random number, so each time I run my app, it
creates a new one.
When run from terminal, QStandardPaths::CacheLocation correctly
returns /home/nemo/.cache/
I tried with QStandardPaths::DataLocation but it's
the same, I get
/home/nemo/.local/share/AppName/mdeclarativecache_pre_initialized_qapplication-XXXXX
So for the moment, I temporarily hardcoded
/home/nemo/.cache/
Thanks!
Sylvain.
