## Detailed Description

The StandardPaths singleton type provides methods for querying the standard system paths. The standard paths are mostly useful in conjunction with the FileDialog and FolderDialog types.

      FileDialog {
          folder: StandardPaths.writableLocation(StandardPaths.DocumentsLocation)
      }

Note: Types in Qt.labs modules are not guaranteed to remain compatible in future versions.
