Once I'm distributing it through OpenRepos I'd like to do it the proper way (if there is one).
https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.6/qstandardpaths.html

Code:
QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation)
If you use QSettings class it will automatically create file in correct location.
