Got it by setting path in .pro and .desktop files, no link gets made in /usr/bin but I don't see that as a problem. I'm uploading the version tomorrow afternoon.

Okay I got the default theme files working under opt but now the issue is that package doesn't get optified further because of /opt exists. So executable wasn't linked from /usr/bin.

Any ideas how to force optifying?

But sure I shall try that thing to install default theme under opt. Maybe I just did something wrong before. But is that previous ok if I can't get it work ?

@Niko : this solution sounds good, except that the default theme IMO should be kept in /opt/qtirreco/defaulttheme/. Furthermore, if the user wants to add more themes he should be able to do so in /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/.

Funny thing is that i used those fixes you sent me to email and you had default theme installed to usr/share there. Optify did though make symbolic links for those files and actual ones did go to /opt/...

I did try to install everything under /opt but then i needed to add permissions to user and that obviously was wrong thing to do.

or maybe this solution:

executable under opt. Default theme gets installed in /usr/share/qtirrecotheme and stays there. Then when application starts folders and necessary files are made in /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco folder? There all new remote,device and theme data is saved.

Does that sound ok?

Quoting one post: "Hmm, can't give any explicit instuctions, but generally installing files to user's home directory is big no no. Settings and user data is saved to user's home directory but the files must be generated runtime. If some files absolutely have to be in user's home directory in order to program to work they can be installed for example to /usr/share and then copied to home directory if they are missing, but there should be very little reason to do this if program is designed properly."

Please correct me if this one goes wrong. I make package which installs executable file under /opt. Other files installed like default theme goes under /usr/share/qtirreco. The program itself creates folder for downloaded themes,remotes and devices and file lircpaths.conf to home/user/qtirreco. Then default theme gets moved to that folder. So under /opt is only executable and every other file works from /home/user/qtirreco folder? Earlier all files were at /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco and folders got made in install script. Default theme also was installed straight there.

Hopefully someone understood something. Im getting pretty confused with this one to make proper package.

All the files downloaded/modified by the user should be in its directory. In that case I think it should be the directories Remotes and Devices, probably the file lircpaths.conf too.

agree with charles, also yet to actually get this to work on any of the 5 tv's i can use.. (May be my own tv settings?)

I had problems if those files are owned by root. Then the application didn't have rights to make any files there because it's ran as user. Do you have solution for that?

The package is now optified but there is a problem with ownership. The files/directories under /opt should not be owned by the user user.

The configuration files should reside in the user directory to be modified.
