I need to include a couple of files with my app. They are not really QML-related, so I'm putting them in their own directory as a sibling to qml.

As far as I understand, I can do this in the .pro file, like this:

myfiles.files = myfiles
myfiles.path = /usr/share/$${TARGET}
INSTALLS += myfiles

This places the files in /usr/share/myapp/myfiles/ and that's fine. The QML stuff is placed in /usr/share/myapp/myfiles/

I do not set organization name, so it's defaulting to myapp.

To find my files, I call QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths:: DataLocation);
And I get three paths:
/home/nemo/.local/share/myapp/myapp
/usr/local/share/myapp/myapp
/usr/share/myapp/myapp

And I look for myfiles in each of the paths, and that all fine, except, that my files are in /usr/share/myapp/myfiles, not /usr/share/myapp/myapp/myfiles.

What's the correct way to handle this? I assume this is related to the changes in 1.0.3.8.
