    Description

      TL;DR:
      QtCreator should search for wizards in:
      /usr/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards/...
      /usr/local/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards/...
      ~/.local/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards/...

      I'm creating project wizards for our SDK, and I'm noticing that QtCreator only seems to look in /usr/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards/...
      I don't think this is great.

      If our users `make install`, our install script would preferably install to the conventional /usr/local/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards/... location.
      I also think QtCreator should search the conventional ~/.local/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards/... path since this is accessible without super-user permissions.

      On a side note; looking at all the stuff under `share/qtcreator/...`, I suspect this problem may extend further than the project wizards...?
