Hello all! Is it possible to set password on a local file/folder? While trying to make a program for it, I read in the manual that you can do so using qurl but the explanation is not that satisfying. Anyone can help?

I would say this is a file system issue, not something you can do above the file system.Quote:

That is, for regular files.
If you construct a special file format, that only your app can open and read, then sure, you can have any username password or other machanisms.
Can you post a link to that manual?Quote:

Or do you mean the Qt docs?
Yes, I meant the Qt docs. Is there any other way aside from qurl?Quote:

The setPassword() of QUrl just allows you to pass user login information to url(server) that supports it - it does not make the url be passowrd protected or be user aware.
