    In documents it indicates there are more than one paths for QStandardPaths:

    GenericConfigLocation	"~/.config", "/etc/xdg"
    GenericDataLocation	"~/.local/share", "/usr/local/share", "/usr/share"
    

    I am using it but can I be sure that always same location will be used in same computer? How does it choose the path?

      If you don't mpdify the system settings, yes

      How does it choose the path?

      By using system api calls to retrieve this information, on windows e.g. through ShGetFolderPath.
