Hey there,

where should an app store it's cache data? I see that KStandardDirs notes 
"cache", but how would one actually use that?

I.e. if I want to write a file to the app's cache dir, I need a path to said 
dir. ::findDirs would not return anything for these tests:

  qDebug() << KGlobal::dirs()->findDirs("cache", "kdevelop");
  qDebug() << KGlobal::dirs()->findDirs("cache", "kdevelop/foo/bar");
  qDebug() << KGlobal::dirs()->findDirs("data", "kdevelop/foo/bar");

Apparently, only existing directories are returned (if I create e.g. 
~/.kde/cache-$host/kdevelop the first call will return the path to that 
folder).

So how do I figure out the recommended path for cache data? Should I use 
KStandardDirs::resourceDirs("cache") and pick the first item in the returned 
list? Could more than one directory be returned?

Thanks
