--- Comment #15 from Thomas Debesse <d...@illwieckz.net> ---
The `AppConfigLocation` folder should not be used on Windows either, for the
same reason. Because on Windows,`AppConfigLocation`
(C:/Users/<USER>/AppData/Local/<APPNAME>) is a subfolder of
`GenericConfigLocation` (C:/Users/<USER>/AppData/Local>), it is not usable on
Windows to store application configuration here (despite its name). This is a
Qt design bug.

I repeat, both `GenericConfigLocation` and `AppConfigLocation` should NEVER be
used to store KDE application configuration on Windows, because on Windows this
folder is meant to BE DISPOSABLE, to NOT BE BACKED UP, and to BE LOST.

I mentioned it in 2018 in Comment 3. This question is already answered.
