Oh that is new for me. I thought that project files and folders must have a 
common base folder? But the project file can be at an arbitrary location 
where also the hidden .kde4 folder is created. Am I wrong here?

Or simply read it from the configuration file with a default for the current 
value. We could just provide a different value in Quanta's configuration file 
then. I think an API would be too much.
