[SailfishDevel] under which user do apps run

You should replace ~ with homePath() as in some operating systems ~ doesn't mean anything.

QDir::homePath()+"/checklist"

You're right. The above gives the same output (I was using QProcess with
no results).
Anyway,  QDir dp("~/checklists") does not return anything, whereas QDir
dp("/home/nemo/checklists") works ok.
That's why I got confused. But the ~ not being recognized may be a Qt issue.
