I know it's not the default way of organizing things, but if I could choose freely, I would collect things in Qi4j folders like:Mac: configuration={1}/Library/Preferences/*Qi4j*/{0} - most useful here... data={1}/Library/Application Support/*Qi4j*/{0} - maybe? temporary={3}/{0} cache={1}/Library/Caches/*Qi4j*/{0} - maybe? log={1}/Library/Logs/*Qi4j*/{0} - maybe? For instance, my {1}/LIbrary/Preferences/ currently contains 684 items (!) so preferences for my qi4j-apps would be quite dislocated from each other if they where not in a shared Qi4j folder. I think it would be nice to easily be able to locate and inspect all my qi4j-apps (in one place) in the file system too. Or are the FileConfiguration also supposed to be used by non-Qi4j applications? You could potentially have tens of qi4j-applications "spread all over" - personally I would prefer to have their config/support/cache/logs data grouped in Qi4j-folders. Just my 2 cents. Maybe it could be useful for other OS's too?
Well, that is mostly relevant for you as a developer, but for most users it wouldn't make any sense at all. I'd prefer to make these things overridable on a per-user basis with defaults being as now, if that's ok.
