Actually probably everything distributed in the classic "sysadmin style" (to reference a today's blog post). I'm wondering whether it would make sense to have this in either Qt directly (maybe not?) or a wrapper in KCoreAddons which can easily handle situations like run as flatpack where it's not needed or not wanted.</p>
<p>Anyway: +1 to the change, that sounds awesome improvement.</p></div>

<p>It gets even "better": QQmlEngines have the applicationDirPath set as first(!) entry of the importPathList as well by default, so strace gets spammed with</p>

<p>I'll look whether it's possible to override that in a sane place as well.</p>
<p>I would also like to see this fixed directly in Qt as well, but it's not so easy IMO.<br />
The default addition of the path to the various path lists is only useful for applications shipped as a single directory,<br />
not supposed to be installed linux-style. I'm not sure how Qt could distinguish those cases... At least I'm against hardcoding<br />
blacklisted paths inside Qt.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R120 Plasma Workspace</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D7255" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D7255</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>fvogt, Plasma<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>graesslin, plasma-devel, ZrenBot, progwolff, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart, lukas<br /></div>
