Hello,
Richard made a change that applied this behaviour, which is techically a
fix, and matches Apple's behaviour.
However, impact on an existing system (imagine a user upgrade) is big
since one looses many preferences. and needs to do a manual migration.
Should we have instead a compatibility migration? E.g. look for the full
domain, if not found, look for the old one and in case copy (or move) it
over.

Hi!
I noticed and talked separately to some of you that during updates
some of my apps "lost" preferences. I was trying to understand where I
feared some encoding issues, but it appears much simpler.
Look here in my Defaults:
Apr 23 2024 AddressManager.plist
Oct 21 17:23 GNUMail.plist
Nov 6 00:50 GWorkspace.plist
Dec 2 22:30 org.gap.AddressManager.plist
Dec 2 23:15 org.gnustep.GNUMail.plist
Nov 21 13:14 org.gnustep.GWorkspace.plist
It appears that recently (sure after Nov 21, but change could be
earlier of course) we happen to have a sort of full domain, but before
just the app name.
This can cause some impact in this existing installs. Was this an
intentional change? base?
