Ideal Location to Store Images in Codebase?

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Kartik,

Data as embedded images are located in core/data/pics/ directory.

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/tree/master/core/data/pics

You can create a new subdir for your images and install files on your
system using cmake rules like this one :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/data/pics/borderpatterns/CMakeLists.txt

To load this image on demand in your dialog, this look simple like
this using QStandardPaths::locate :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/libs/dimg/filters/decorate/bordersettings.cpp#L546

In Setup editor page, i embedded a photo to illustrate the over/under
exposure effect settings.

Photo is here :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/data/pics/digikam/sample-aix.png

Code is here :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/utilities/setup/editor/setupeditoriface.cpp#L203

Currently, I'm using images on my local machine, so I can use absolute paths. What is the correct location in the code directory, where I should store these images?
