[SailfishDevel] QStandardPaths not working when app is run from Launcher

[Vesa-Matti Hartikainen]

Hi,

  I think QStandardPaths use applicationName and organizationName when 
constructing paths.

  So solution would be something like
     app->setApplicationName("harbour-yourapp");
     app->setOrganizationName("harbour-yourapp");

  And then QStandardPaths will start giving paths that follow harbour 
guidance.

BR,
  Vesku
