Everything else goes under a traditional POSIX-style prefix like /opt/local, including non-app-bundle executables.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Others who have more experience building standalone app bundle versions which could go under /Applications should be able to say more, but I would expect that those are in fact individual builds that are configured to consider the app bundle as their root and to be self-centred w.r.t. sycoca5. IOW, I would expect that their search for .desktop entries is limited to the app bundle contents, and starts at the app bundle, so at least 1 level under /Applications or wherever the bundle has been saved.
I'm not sure if they could do anything else: app bundles that include Qt and all required frameworks aren't guaranteed to have the same versions, which could lead to all kinds of unexpected behaviour.
That's why I think that excluding /Applications shouldn't have any impact on such builds.</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">This patch avoids that by removing all occurrences of /Applications from the result of <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::ApplicationsLocation)</code> (and also removes any duplicates, which seems like a good idea just in case).</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I've marked this "WIP" because I'm not sure how this implementation would work out for standalone app bundle builds. I <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">think</em> they should be fine even if installed somewhere under /Applications because <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">QStringList::removeAll()</code> should remove only entries matching "/Applications" exactly. Possibly the filter could be widened to catch all "*/Applications", meaning also $HOME/Applications. That should still leave, say, <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">$HOME/Applications/Kate.app</code>.</p></pre>
