Hi all,
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387626 we've got this problem reported and I don't see how to easily fix this. LabPlot's MainWindow inherits from KXmlGuiWindow. When saving the auto settings in KMainWindow, KSharedConfig::openConfig() is used which uses QStandardPaths::GenericConfigLocation for the location: https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kconfig/html/classKSharedConfig.html#a328208649f2e3f0ee895c9b11aa82205 According to the problem description in this ticket, I assume this is a valid request since it makes a lot of sense to me, we have to use QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation for the location of the config file. Do I need to set here KMainWindow::setAutoSettings() with a KConfig having the proper name and location? I'd actually expect this to be done by the underlying framework(s)... We read the settings in many places via KSharedConfig::openConfig() which also defaults to the same rc file under QStandardPaths::GenericConfigLocation. For all our custom and application specific settings we can of course provide AppDataLocation explicitely but this also looks to me like not the most optimal solution since we'd need to touch the code at many places. How is this handled in other KF5-applications? Can somebody share some best practices here? Thanks and Regards, Alexander
