How do I add comments to my config file using QSettings?

I'm writing a c++ code using qt and need an editable config file for my user to change some settings. In order to provide him some additional information I would like to add comments to my config file, however I cant find a way to mark them as comments.

I am using QSettings, my file is a .flt file. The usual '#' unfortunately does not seem to work with QSettings.

Solution

  • when using setting files in Qt and the QSettings class, you don't use the "usual"

    #

    for defining a comment, but the

    ;

    instead...

    so:

    [abc]
key=val
;this is a comment in the QSettings
flag=true
