Hi,

I'm writing here because I'm not really aware of the proper searching keywords. I would like to have some initializer files attached to my program. Qt's resource system is not the answer because I would like to have it just like a normal file (not compiled into the program). There I would store some variables or user-defined paths ect so these would be basically simple text files for storing not hard-coded values.

Now my question is how to do this properly? Or simply define a relative path that will be valid from the exe and if this relative path is hard coded than simply that's it? I was just wondering if there is a better way by which when I compile the release version the necessary folders and files would be generated.

The answer can be Qt-based, but I thought this should be a more general question.
