Other locations include binary-name. For example, QStandardPaths::CacheLocation is /home/nemo/.cache/harbour-log4qtdemo Config location, however, points to just /home/nemo/.config

If it is indeed a bug (possibly I just misunderstand *nix standards) and you are going to fix it, please, please, announce the fix before shipping it as the change can break the currently used configs.

P.S.
Actually it's even more funny then that:

  • on emulator cache location reported is /home/nemo/.cache/harbour-log4qtdemo
  • on real device (1.0.4.20) it is "/home/nemo/.cache/harbour-log4qtdemo/harbour-log4qtdemo

For your last point, this is normal, because that has been changed in 1.0.3.8 while the emulator is still in 1.0.1.11.

The cache path has always been "/home/nemo/.cache/organizationName/applicationName". But before 1.0.3.8, if the organizationName was not set, it was skipped. Now, by default, organizationName = applicationName.

As pointed out by Sthocs, this bug is due to the emulator having old packages. It will be fixed with one of the next SDK updates when the emulator and build VM get up-to-date packages.

As a workaround, you could try installing newer packages (in that particular case, it's a newer version of libsailfishapp) into the Emulator VM, but that's unsupported.

@thp that is about the last point only, right (from P.S.)? What about config location? Should it really be just /home/nemo/.config while all other locations include organization and app name?
