    Description

      /*!
    Destroys the file dialog.
*/
QFileDialog::~QFileDialog()
{
    Q_D(QFileDialog);
#if QT_CONFIG(settings)
    d->saveSettings();
#endif

      #if QT_CONFIG(settings)
void QFileDialogPrivate::saveSettings()
{
    Q_Q(QFileDialog);
    QSettings settings(QSettings::UserScope, u"QtProject"_s);
    settings.beginGroup("FileDialog");

      Please don't write to a global file from ALL applications. This should a) be opt-in; b) be in an application-specific file.
