Hi!

I have an app that installs a SQLITE .db file. The .db file is included in my installation package, but on the device it will have permissions set to 644. When I run my app, I hit errors that the database is read only. When I do root + chmod 666 on the .db file, the app will work just fine again. How do I modify the permissions from the outset? I obviously don't want all my users to have to do chmod manually. I even try to change the permissions in code using the Qt setPermissions method, but that didn't to do the work either...

I sort of expect to change something like this:

Code:

INSTALLS    += db
db.path  = /home/user
db.files  = data/qsportsevent.db
db.permissions = 666

Thanks
