QDir::convertSeparators doesn't work in Linux?
Message 1 in thread
Hi ALL,
I have a function:
QString PptxGen::toFullName(const QString &pureName)const
{
QString fullName(m_path + "\\" + pureName);
return QDir::convertSeparators(fullName);
};
I expect under Linux the separator will be converted into "/", but it
doesn't.
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Lingfa

The bug is in your code. "/" is always the correct separator for internal
strings in Qt, regardless of platform. How would Linux know to convert "\\"
(Windows separator) or ":" (old Mac separator)? However, the Windows Qt code
does know how to convert "/" when necessary.

Keith,
Thanks for you answer. I'll use "/" uniformly.
