[Qgis-user] Reading Qsettings outside QGis

[Etienne Tourigny]

Hi Pierre,

yes this is the right approach.  However, you must make sure that the
proper organisation (QuantumGIS) and application (QGIS) are set.  Your
problem is probably because the QSettings is initialized with some
default values.

This is done automatically when using plugins in the qgis app, but not
if your are creating an external app.

Although it should happen when calling QgsApplication.initQgis() - you
might want to file a bug report for that.

BTW - you might get more feedback if posting to the qgis-devel mailing list.
