change path of settings ini file

[tuli]

hi,

I want to portably (both as in inter-os as well as in portable software) store the settings for my application.
To do that, i decided to save them in the INIformat to the same directory as the executable.

QSettings::setDefaultFormat(QSettings::IniFormat);
	QSettings::setPath(QSettings::IniFormat, QSettings::UserScope, a.applicationDirPath());
 
	QSettings st;
 
 
	st.setValue("test", 1234);
	st.sync();

QSettings::setDefaultFormat(QSettings::IniFormat);
	QSettings::setPath(QSettings::IniFormat, QSettings::UserScope, a.applicationDirPath());

	QSettings st;


	st.setValue("test", 1234);
	st.sync();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This works well, but creates an unnecessary folder:

./mycompany/myapp.ini

I`d like it to be

./myapp.ini

is taht possible?


edit:
removed original post. Turns out setPath() is a static method, even though my IDE lead me to believe differently..
