QStandardPaths: what is the difference in PathTypes?

[bogong]

Hello!

In the documentation of QStandardPaths for storing something in device mentioned:

• QStandardPaths::ConfigLocation vs QStandardPaths::GenericConfigLocation - return the same path
• QStandardPaths::AppLocalDataLocation vs QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation - return the same path

The question is - What is better to use? What is the difference?
I've been trying to get a difference but gotten failed. There are the same for every pair member.

My issue is to storing application data and configuration.

They may return different paths on other Operating Systems (for example: Windows has 3 data locations: user, local and roaming). See detailed description here.

@sierdzio Thx. I've never been using Windows ... That's why it's curious for me ... In MacOS and mobile it's the same. I've seen this manual that you sent in reply.
