Hi Igor,
using the /MyAppBundleID /it's a good practice, and suggested by
Apple, also on Mac OSX, so, the correct path for your point 1. is :
1) *MacOS X*
Prefs Location: specialFolderPath("Home") & "/Library/Application
Support//MyAppBundleID //"
Prefs Name: anything you wish
See Table 1-3, paragraph "The Library Directory Stores App-Specific
Files", on :
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGUide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html
*Application Support* : Use this directory to store all app data
files except those associated with the user's documents. For example,
you might use this directory to store app-created data files,
configuration files, templates, or other fixed or modifiable resources
that are managed by the app. An app might use this directory to store
a modifiable copy of resources contained initially in the app's
bundle. A game might use this directory to store new levels purchased
by the user and downloaded from a server.
All content in this directory should be placed in a custom
subdirectory whose name is that of your app's_bundle identifier_ or
your company.
In iOS, the contents of this directory are backed up by iTunes.

Re-reading the answers here and the information in the dictionary for
the 'specialFolderPath' - and after some more Googling - I have
gathered the following info, which may or may not be correct:
1) MacOS X
Prefs Location: specialFolderPath("Home")& "/Library/Application
Support/MyApp/"
Prefs Name: anything you wish
2) Windows
Prefs Location: specialFolderPath("0x001a")& "/MyApp/"
Prefs Name: anything you wish
3) Linux
Prefs Location: there does not seem to be a 'standard', but several
programs seem to take the approach of creating a hidden folder in the
user's home directory - specialFolderPath("Home")& "/.myapp/"
Prefs Name: anything you wish
4) iOS
Prefs Location: specialFolderPath("library")& "/MyAppBundleID/" -
Apple requires you to use the application's bundle id
Prefs Name: anything you wish
5) Android
Prefs Location: ???
Prefs Name: ???
If anybody could confirm/correct the information above, I would be
most grateful.
Kind regards to all,
