Hello everyone,
I've been fighting for a few days with QSettings on QT4.6 and haven't been able to figure out what's wrong so thought I'd post here and hopefully find some help
I have a .plist file, created by another program, than I need to read inside my own QT application.
Here's what I'm doing:
for (int i = 0; i < keys.size(); i++) {
qDebug() << tempString;
}
QSettings zwoptexList(fileName,QSettings::NativeFormat);
QStringList keys = zwoptexList.allKeys();
for (int i = 0; i < keys.size(); i++) {
QString tempString = keys.at(i);
qDebug() << tempString;
}
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
And this is how the .plist file is structured (part of it, it's just a standard .plist file that works fine):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>frames</key>
<dict>
<key>earth_edge02.png</key>
<dict>
<key>height</key>
<integer>64</integer>
<key>offsetX</key>
<real>-9</real>
.....
</dict>
<key>earth_top01.png</key>
<dict>
<key>height</key>
<integer>32</integer>
....
</dict>
....
</dict>
</plist>

<dict>
<key>height</key>
<integer>32</integer>
....
</dict>
....
</dict>
</plist>

So I'm just trying to print out all the keys so far to be sure of what's going on.
The results are different if I use:
allKeys();
childKeys();
childGroups();
if I use allKeys(), I get the value "frames", which is the highest key in the .plist of type "Dictionary", and nothing else.
By my understanding that should be seen as a group by QSettings, but it sees it as normal key, I tried calling beginGroup("frames"); but I just can't seem to access the keys inside this group.
If I call childGroups() I get no values, I haven't found any ways to access groups or make them seem as such.
Could someone please try and help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks very much for any insight,
Patrick
