    Description

      QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation) returns different location than API documentation.

       

      The API documentation:

      "<APPROOT>/Documents"

      The actual location:

      "<APPROOT>/Library/Application Support"

      IMHO "<APPROOT>/Documents" is much better, as it can be seen in "Files" app, thus make it possible to be shared with other apps.
