Image Storage Options

[Pete Carpathia]

(resent this as I didnt CC mailing list)

Thanks for the help.

I open tellico 4.1.1, and ~/tellico/garage.tc
In settings I have it set to 'Relative to data file'

At this point I can upload an image to an item, and the software is
displaying the images fine
But they are being saved to some /tmp/tellico* dir, rather than a subdir of
the datafile.
The same is true if I choose Common Application Directory in settings

I cant find any way to change this within the software...

As far as I can tell, I have both qt5 and qt6 installed
-------
$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.15.16 in /usr/lib

$ qmake6 --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 6.9.0 in /usr/lib
-------

The Arch package for tellico is listing qt6 as a dependency, so I have to
assume its using those libs (and any associated env vars)

I'm not that familiar with Qt unfortunately.
Is there anything else I should be checking?
