QtCreator not scanning $HOME for custom project wizards

I've recently taken up on the idea of adding various custom project wizards to my Qt Creator. I also want to share those on github in case someone wants for example an out of the box OpenCV or PCL CMake project with basic functionality already present.

For this reason /usr/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards is not an option. The documentation states that the user can also add his/her custom project wizards to his/her $HOME (http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-wizards.html#locating-wizards).

For some unknown reason however Qt Creator is scanning only the wizards directory in /usr/share/... . I found this out after creating a valid CMake wizard project and added it to my $HOME/.config/... and it didn't show up. A confirmation was given to me by Qt Creator itself when I started it with the -customwizard-verbose argument from the terminal and it showed scans only in the /usr/share/... .

I am sure that my project wizard is valid and working because after copying it to /usr/share/... Qt Creator gladly offered it to me when I opened the window for creation of a new project.

Initially the template directory along with its subdirectory wizards was missing in my $HOME/.config/... so I added it following the documentation. I have also looked for any hidden files in /usr/share/... in case I have missed something that actually tells Qt Creator to load the stuff in the template folder but alas! nothing was revealed to me.

So this is either incorrectly documented, a missing feature or a bug.
