Hey Israel,
can you elaborate on what API you're using to read the XML? Are you
using QML or C++?
Most QML APIs don't actually cope with filenames. For instance
LocalStorage takes strings which are stored under filenames based on the
checksum internally. Similarly U1Db doesn't require paths by default.
XMLListModel can take filenames but has no writing capability.
If you use C++, QStandardPaths is indeed the way to go if you need a
filename or implement a QML component. And this is actually used in
several C++ components.
I'm actually looking to write an overview of different storage methods
inspired by this thread. The individual APIs are a bit scattered for
somebody starting afresh.
ciao,
Christian
