The QStandardPaths::writableLocation() method should return exactly
what you need. The only thing to pay attention to, is that you'll have
to set your organization name to the click package name (using
QCoreApplication::setOrganizationName()).
note that for the .config location the organization name is not
appended, so you must take care of it yourself.
Having a look at the implementation will probably clarify how it works:
