Ideal Location to Store Images in Codebase?

[Kartik Ramesh]

Thanks for the response.

Yes, I did make changes to both those CMake files. I've pushed to my repo
as well:
1. Creating the subdirectory and subdirectory CMakeLists:
https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/commit/a176a264cf1776105491c7883aa21ed6a1b492b1
2. Patching in parent CMakeLists:
https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/commit/ddb133af9aaabf58a90dd5c194e145bdd6c7e6ff

Then I run make in core/app followed by sudo make install just to be sure.

I'm invoking my image as:
QPixmap(QStandardPaths::locate(QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation,
QLatin1String("digikam/data/overlayImg.png")));

After doing this, my image does not show up in /usr/share/digikam/data,
where all the other images are present.

Thanks again
Kartik
