Thank you very much for your detailed response. I think I have all the info I need to get a right implementation. PS - Be quiet, your english is much better than mine. ;-) Greats. Jose Salvador.

To get .config dir use specialfolder.ApplicationData and for .local/share use specialfolder.LocalApplicationData.
