Some more weirdness:
I just created a new settings instance with a new name and when I run allKeys() on it, it lists a ton of lists from various plist files on my system (see below) Is this a bug of am I expecting the wrong thing? I guess I need to use an explicit ini file location for now.

|settings = QtCore.QSettings("NewTest", "TestApp") settings.allKeys() [u' USB DISK 3/0', u'AKDeviceUnlockState', u'AKLastCheckInAttemptDate', u'AKLastCheckInSuccessDate', u'AKLastEmailListRequestDateKey', u'AKLastIDMSEnvironment', u'Apple Inc/ FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in)', u'AppleActionOnDoubleClick', u'AppleKeyboardUIMode', u'AppleLanguages', u'AppleLanguagesDidMigrate', u'AppleLocale', u'AppleMiniaturizeOnDoubleClick', u'AppleTextDirection', u'CGPostScriptDisabled', u'Country', u'HGST TOURO S', u'MultipleSessionEnabled', u'NSAllowsInputManagerPlugins', u'NSFileViewer', u'NSLinguisticDataAssetsRequestTime', u'NSLinguisticDataAssetsRequested', u'NSNavPanelFileLastListModeForOpenModeKey', u'NSNavPanelFileLastListModeForSaveModeKey', u'NSNavPanelFileListModeForOpenMode2', u'NSNavPanelFileListModeForSaveMode2', u'NSNavRecentPlaces', u'NSPersonNameDefaultDisplayNameOrder', u'NSPersonNameDefaultShortNameFormat', u'NSPersonNameDefaultShouldPreferNicknamesPreference', u'NSPreferredWebServices', u'NSUserDictionaryReplacementItems', u'NavPanelFileListModeForOpenMode', u'NavPanelFileListModeForSaveMode', u'PKSecureElementAvailableFlags', u'Wacom Co,/Ltd/ Wacom Intuos Pro M', u'Western Digital Elements 25A2', u'_HIHideMenuBar', u'com/apple/AppleModemSettingTool/LastCountryCode', u'com/apple/ColorSync/Devices', u'com/apple/CommonPanels/CalibrateDisplay/identifier-042BB5DC', u'com/apple/CommonPanels/CalibrateDisplay/seed', u'com/apple/TimeZonePref/Last_Selected_City', u'com/apple/finder/SyncExtensions', u'com/apple/keyboard/fnState', u'com/apple/preferences/timezone/selected_city', u'com/apple/sound/beep/flash', u'com/apple/springing/delay', u'com/apple/springing/enabled', u'com/apple/swipescrolldirection', u'com/apple/trackpad/enableSecondaryClick', u'com/apple/trackpad/fiveFingerPinchSwipeGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/forceClick', u'com/apple/trackpad/fourFingerHorizSwipeGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/fourFingerPinchSwipeGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/fourFingerVertSwipeGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/momentumScroll', u'com/apple/trackpad/pinchGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/rotateGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/scrollBehavior', u'com/apple/trackpad/threeFingerDragGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/threeFingerHorizSwipeGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/threeFingerTapGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/threeFingerVertSwipeGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/twoFingerDoubleTapGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/twoFingerFromRightEdgeSwipeGesture', u'com/apple/trackpad/version', u'java/lang/disabled'] |

Hi all,

I just wrote a little snippet to store a simple string in a settings file:

|from PySide2 import QtCore settings = QtCore.QSettings("TestName", "TestApp") settings.setValue('groupName/attrName', 'testValue') |

Then I launch my application that reads the above like this:

|settings = QtCore.QSettings("TestName", "TestApp") my_value = settings.value('groupName/attrName', 'testValue') |

The app retrieves the value “testValue” but now I want to kill the file and start from scratch.
Problem is, the file does not exist where the docs say it should.
I’m on OSX and checked:
~/Library/Preferences
as well as:
/Library/Preferences

According to settings.fileName() the plist file should be in:

|~/Library/Preferences/com.testname.TestApp.plist |

but that file does not exist.

Weird thing is when I close and open my app again it still manages to retrieve the value “testValue”, but I have no clue where it gets it from.

What am I missing?

Cheers,
frank
