    Is there a QStandardPaths equivalent to CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA (or FOLDERID_ProgramData) which on Windows will typically expand to: %ALLUSERSPROFILE% (%ProgramData%, %SystemDrive%\ProgramData)?

        @JoeCFD said in QStandardPaths Program Data:

        AppConfigLocation or possibly > AppLocalDataLocation

        Seems to be the one
