<div dir="ltr">Hi again,<div style> I fixed the issue with applicationName() and also figured out why setApplicationName() didn't work for me. Basically I had a global Database object that got initalized before main() was called, therefore setting applicationName in main would have no effect in Database. Database is now an object created on the heap to which all objects that need to use it get a pointer.</div>
<div style> QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation) now correctly returns "<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">/home/nemo/.local/share/harbour-myapp/" however, setting it as a path does not work for me </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">/harbour-myapp directory doesn't get created and my database doesn't get saved.</span></div>
<div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Saving my data to /home/nemo/.local/share/ still works if I set the path manually, I just cannot save the data in my corresponding subdirectory with </span>QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation)<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
