No, it will be initialized with whatever was chosen by the entity that launched the application. It is meant to be *completely arbitrary*, and always was. In Windows you can specify arbitrary working directory in shortcuts (.lnk files) - that’s one example that’s sufficient to break your assumption. When launching from the terminal on most any OS, the current working path is where you are at the moment you launch the executable anyway - *not* the executable’s directory. Basically, your use of `currentPath` is wrong, there’s no problem with Qt as far as I can see.
