    Hello,

    I'm trying to port my desktop application to Qt 5, stumbled upon

    @QDesktopServices::storageLocation( QDesktopServices::DataLocation );@

    Can't find a substitute in Qt 5, please advise.

      You can use "QStandardPaths":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qstandardpaths.html (from the QtCore module) as a replacement for QDesktopServices.

              Instead of using
              @QString QDesktopServices::storageLocation ( StandardLocation type ) [static]@

              in Qt4 use: @QStandardPaths::standardLocations(StandardLocation type) [static]@ in Qt5. Check documentation "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qstandardpaths.html#standardLocations.

                    I wrote you my answer. What else you want me to explain you? I think with minimum effort you can fix this problem yourself.
