applicationName ?

[gfunk]

What's supposed to be the output of qApp->applicationName()? I run it for my app but all I get is an empty string. Is there an easy way to get the application name through Qt? The only way I see so far is qApp->arguments().at(0)
which gives me
c:\local\apptest\debug\AppTest.exe

Is there an easier Qt way to just get the "AppTest" out of this string?

You have to set the applicationName property first:

applicationName : QString
This property holds the name of this application.
The value is used by the QSettings class when it is constructed using the empty constructor. This saves having to repeat this information each time a QSettings object is created.
Access functions:
QString applicationName ()
void setApplicationName ( const QString & application )

I would call it executable name, anyway you can use this to get it:

QFileInfo info( QCoreApplication::instance()->applicationFilePath() );
QString name( info.baseName() );

QFileInfo info( QCoreApplication::instance()->applicationFilePath() );
QString name( info.baseName() );
