I have a Qt application (that I developed) which has worked on Windows XP SP2 and Debian Linux. I recently installed this app on Windows XP SP3, and found permissions issues.
It seems that this SP has added some of the annoying Vista security problems. The default NTFS permissions have changed and Postgres does not have the appropriate permissions to write to the directory my application creates. Not a big issue to resolve on Linux, Windows is the problem.
I have done a simple test I can change the NTFS permission by hand, but this is sloppy. I want to find a way to do it programatically in Qt. I believe I need a way to change the permissions for the "everyone" group, on just the new directory.
I have looked at QDir and QFile but so far nothing comes to mind. Any ideas?
TIA,
Barbara
