[...] I noticed that Apple seems to recommend, that we use a folder/directory with the *company* name, as well, and inside that have a sub-folder/sub-directory for each application. That seems like a good practice. In that case, the info we have so far is: 1) MacOS X Prefs Location: specialFolderPath("Home") & "/Library/Application Support/MyCompany/MyAppBundleID/" - - Apple requires you to use the application's bundle id for the *folder name* 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 for the *folder name* Prefs Name: anything you wish 5) Android Prefs Location: ??? Prefs Name: ??? Does anyone have any further info or corrections to offer?...
