qmldir file is ignored for any qml file in the same directory

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli]

The qmldir file isn't read for any file in the same directory.

This is in general not a problem as most of the qml imports are seamless. However, you can add additional instructions in the qmldir file.
For instance, singleton:

qmldir contains:
singleton AppSettings AppSettings.qml

and AppSettings.qml starts with:
pragma Singleton

Then, in other files, you can, just use:
AppSettings.<property>

However, this doesn't work in file in the same directory than AppSetings.qml. You need to isolate it in its own directory as a workaround and import the directory, or just 'import "."'
