SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 (1903)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Search for "shgetknownfolderpath" in your program language on msWindows to find
the mypictures information.
My search for this moved location started in the registry at
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders".
For PowerShell:
"https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16658015/how-can-i-use-powershell-to-call-shgetknownfolderpath";
For what its worth: Besides MyPictures, there is also CommonPictures, that
points to the pictures of the public profile. If it is used (if there are
pictures) it could/should be among the default collections too.
