Ideal Location to Store Images in Codebase?

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

If you store your image in a dedicated folder in core/data/pics/, with
a relevant CMakeLists.txt script inside, did you patch also the parent
core/data/pics/CMakeLists.txt file to include your directory while
configuring and installing ?

For my setup, the  images get installed in /usr/share/digikam/data. This folder contains images such as "sample-aix", but my images don't show up here.

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?
