Problem with file paths in XP

[IndikaU]

Hi,

I'm using QFileDialog to get file paths in my program. These paths are valid in Windows 7. But when I use the same code for Windows XP, there is an error interpreting the file paths correctly (specified file not found). This happen when there are spaces in the path (e.g.: C:\Documents and Settings\...)

How can overcome this problem?

Thanks,
Indika...

Can you show some code as to how are you using the path returned from QFileDialog?

_OutputFolder = QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(0, ("Select Output Folder"), QDir::currentPath());

_OutputFolder = QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(0, ("Select Output Folder"), QDir::currentPath());

i asked, how are you using _OutputFolder later in your code where the error comes.

QStringList args;
args << _OutputFolder;
 
process = new QProcess(this);
process2 = new QProcess(this);
 
process->start("./Generator.exe", args); //this works fine
process2->start("explorer.exe",  args); //this won't open the destination folder in XP since it can't identify the path (probably with spaces)

QStringList args;
args << _OutputFolder;

process = new QProcess(this);
process2 = new QProcess(this);

process->start("./Generator.exe", args); //this works fine
process2->start("explorer.exe",  args); //this won't open the destination folder in XP since it can't identify the path (probably with spaces)
