Hi Daniel,

Ubuntu filemanager uses QDir::homePath() because it uses a C++ plugin.

I do not know any way of getting it in QML, but, I think you can use the 
File Manager plugin to get this information in your application, like this:

import org.nemomobile.folderlistmodel 1.0

    FolderListModel {
        id: fm
    }

   ..

on some event like onClicked

    onClicked: {
                var homedir = fm.homePath()
                console.log("home="+homedir)
    }

Regards,
Carlos
