Dooble releases-Qt6
Dave Yeo:
New release with fixes for the above, ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/dooble-2025-04-06-Qt6.zip
David McKenna:
Thanks again Dave! This also works well here - still get the dooble_settings.db in the root. As an experiment, I made a bunch of changes to my settings, closed dooble, then deleted the dooble_settings.db in the root. Opened dooble and all the settings changes I made were still there. So it seems that dooble_settings.db file in the root is totally vestigial and is an extra copy.
Another thing I had forgotten about - it still need the dictionary file to be in the root too...
Regards,
Dave Yeo:
Yea, I think the dooble_settings.db in root is a timing issue, created too early and in root then uses the one in %HOME%
Seems the dictionary environment variable has changed to QTWEBENGINE_DICTIONARIES_PATH. Has to be an absolute path and likely needs / as a directory separator. Mine is, QTWEBENGINE_DICTIONARIES_PATH=L:/qt6-6.2.x/bin/qtwebengine_dictionaries
David McKenna:
Thanks - didn't know about the environment variable. Added it and now don't need the file in root for dictionaries.
I wonder why does Dooble write the settings file at all if it already exists at startup? it clearly reads it from %HOME%, but maybe some part of the code does not get the message it already exists and goes ahead and writes it?

Dave Yeo:
Seems to zero out the settings path right before creating the application and then figuring out the settings location and creating or loading the settings. I have a hard time following the logic
