--- Comment #9 from Thomas Debesse <d...@illwieckz.net> ---
Perhaps Qt documentation has to be edited to say:

> Beware: `QStandardPaths::DataLocation` is not doing what you think it is

QStandardPaths::DataLocation never returns the DataLocation, it returns a Local
Cache Location.

The real DataLocation is given by QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation.

For storing disposable local (to the machine) cache, software can use
QStandardPaths::AppLocalDataLocation. QStandardPaths::DataLocation seems to be 
there just because of history, it mistakenly calls to
QStandardPaths::AppLocalDataLocation which is wrong and is not what developer
expects.
