I am not so much in favour of an ApplicationSupport directory. I do
not understand it from a design point of view.
This way you can separately store data that is generated by the
application but neither a preferences file nor some data that the
application is intended to produce.
Examples:
cache file, cookie file, profile of a web browser; index files of a
mail application; color swatches, custom brushes of an image processing
application;
If you want a design where a folder is the application you should put
as much as possible within that folder. Not starting to re-invent the
/usr/share directory... more below :)
All that stuff doesn't belong into the application bundle itself since
I consider it user specific/private data that should not be moved
around if the application itself is copied into another place, used by
another user or the like. So it belongs to
/Users/username/Library/Application Support

Happy FOSDEMing to all who are there, btw. I'll be back next year.
