Mac OS X Lion (10.7.1)
Qt 4.7.4
Description
QSettings fails to save or load settings to disk when specifying the QSettings::IniFormat and SystemScope on Mac OS X Lion. Unlike https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-21062, I can successfully save and restore settings when using QSettings::NativeFormat, just not with IniFormat.
(Note: When using UserScope with IniFormat, the settings are properly saved in $HOME/.config/...)
The documentation specifies that when using IniFormat on Mac OS X, the files are stored in /etc/xdg. This folder doesn't exist on a fresh install of Lion. Manually creating the folder and setting all read/write permissions wasn't able to fix the problem.
