Can't create folder

[cpuinthebrain]

Hi,

I read many many tutorials in internet how we can create new folder(directory) using QT.Unfortunately i can't have success with no one.I'm on Mac OS X 10.10 with Qt 5.7.

What i make is:

QString path1 = "Documents";
 
        QDir dir(path1);
        if(!dir.exists())
        {
            qDebug() << "Creating " << path1 << "directory";
            dir.mkdir(path1);
        }
        else
        {
            qDebug() << path1 << " already exists";
        }

QString path1 = "Documents";

        QDir dir(path1);
        if(!dir.exists())
        {
            qDebug() << "Creating " << path1 << "directory";
            dir.mkdir(path1);
        }
        else
        {
            qDebug() << path1 << " already exists";
        }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I also can't understand how to create folder in Users/Library/Application Support/My_program_name_folder
using QStandardPaths in this case QStandardPaths:ataLocation.

Your code tries to create a directory "Documents" inside a non-existing directory.

using QStandardPaths in this case QStandardPaths:ataLocation.

Maybe something like

QDir root = QDir::root();
root.mkpath(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation));

QDir root = QDir::root();
root.mkpath(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation));
