[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55855] GUI configuration files are not located following each platform's convention

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #55855 (project octave):

You might have to change the setApplicationName in libgui/src/main-window.cc
to get what you want out of QStandardPaths. And I don't know if that will
cause any regressions with the association of the application window with the
launcher icon. It's unfortunate that Qt overloaded all of these things to
depend on a single global application name.

What about using QStandardPaths::CacheLocation for the autocompletion files?
Do you want to keep the Octave version number in that directory name?

octaverc can be the same, it will have to configure it in liboctave /
liboctinterp, but I will make it correspond to where the GUI configuration is
saved.
