Ugh, setting that var, it picks up the changes to the
export/profiles.xml, but now it uses the system-installed effects XML
files. If I unset that var, then it is just the opposite and uses the
old system-installed export/profiles.xml with the more recent effects
XML files. I see in the code effects are using
KStandardDirs::locateLocal() and profiles.xml is using
KStandardDirs::locate().
Also, while nearly everything uses "appdata" there is one thing using
"config" which seems odd: KStandardDirs::locate("config",
"kdenliveeffectscategory.rc"). I do not know the best practices here,
but it does not seem they are employed thereby hindering local
installs and development.
