Hi Igor,
The current Apple directive for OS X preferences is that they should go in:

~/Library/Application Support/<app-identifier>
~/Library/<app-identifier>
~/Library/Caches/<app-identifier>

<app-identifier> can be a folder containing the prefs file or the prefs
file itself, and the first of the above three options seems to be the most
used.

Not sure why the Prefernces folder is not the standard any more but if you
put a prefs file there, it won't be accepted into the Mac App Store.


Can't be of much help on the other platforms, sorry.
