After each update, I add a dot before the ~user/opt folder (and in the program launcher) created by QCAD to unclutter my file manager's appearance. Would be easy, I think, to make the installer put the program directly in ~user/.opt, and nobody would miss that folder while browsing through daily used files.

And what about installing the program as root, so all users of a computer could use it without personal installs, and only personal setting files created by users would be kept in ~user/.opt/qcam.
