helping for writing and reading with only one file

[anda_skoa]

If the program needs a file for input on startup, you could do this:

1) check if the file exists in the user's data location
2) if not, extract from resource to the user's data location
3) load file from the user's data location

Writing can then always happen to that file.

Really thanks, nice way. but i have some questions:
- how could extract from resource? (by this i could read/write and files are not beside of the ".exe")
- is it possible to load from the user's data location to resource?

QFIle::copy() should work, otherwise readAll() on a QFile that has the resource path and writing that into the QFile at the data location.

- is it possible to load from the user's data location to resource?

Not sure what you mean.
QFile based loading is transparent on whether the path is a resource or a local file.

With the described "extract" approach you would never read from the resource directly, always from the local file.
