Function Documentation

getConfigDir()

QString getConfigDir ( )

inline

Returns the directory for configuration files (settings.ini).

• Portable mode: Application directory (Windows) or parent directory (Linux)
• Installable mode:
  • Linux: ~/.config/VirtualGamePad/
  • Windows: APPDATA%/VirtualGamePad/
• Debug builds: Always use application directory

Warning

getDataDir()

QString getDataDir ( )

inline

Returns the directory for application data files (profiles, etc.).

• Portable mode: Same as config directory
• Installable mode:
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/VirtualGamePad/
  • Windows: APPDATA%/VirtualGamePad/ (same as config)
• Debug builds: Always use application directory

isPortableMode()

bool isPortableMode ( )

inlineconstexpr

Determines if the application should run in portable mode.

Portable mode is determined by the build-time flag PORTABLE_BUILD.

In portable mode, settings and data are stored alongside the executable. In installable mode, standard OS locations are used (~/.config, APPDATA%, etc.).
