I'm looking to do some larger scale changes to scripts locally & would like to be able to point the same version of qcad to different instances of my script directories.

It's not completely clear how I should do this & the values that QT suggests are checked by default don't seem to be.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstandardpaths.html

Code: Select all

AppDataLocation	"~/.local/share/<APPNAME>", "/usr/local/share/<APPNAME>", "/usr/share/<APPNAME>"
AppLocalDataLocation	"~/.local/share/<APPNAME>", "/usr/local/share/<APPNAME>", "/usr/share/<APPNAME>"

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Wes

I did a fair bit of debugging and found that there are a few path searching blockers for being able to prefer one script tree over the built in version.

Here is my PR that fixes the issues I saw:
