How to recursively create a directory in Qt?

Question

Is there a function that given an absolute path will attempt to create all directories in the path that do not exist?

Answer 1

You can use

bool QDir::mkpath(const QString &dirPath) const

as described in the Qt4.x documentation and Qt5.x documentation

Creates the directorypath dirPath.

The function will create all parent directories necessary to create the directory.

Returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

If the path already exists when this function is called, it will return true.
