[digiKam-users] Alternative location for Lut-3D files

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Dmitri,

Look in source code, LUT files are found by this method :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/libs/dimg/filters/fx/colorfxsettings.cpp#L356

This method call QStandardPaths::locateAll() with argument
QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation. Under Linux, these path are
parsed :

GenericDataLocation : "~/.local/share", "/usr/local/share", "/usr/share"

... dixit the Qt doc :
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstandardpaths.html#StandardLocation-enum

So, no way to add alternatives, except to add new rules with an
environment variable to tune before startup (aka LensFun database use
for ex).

Best

Gilles
