And FWIW, Sigil uses the official location for "Application Support" files for each platform as these are provided by Qt.

Therefore on a Mac Platform this automatically maps to ~/Library/Application Support/.

Of course - the morons at Apple felt in their more recent versions of the OS that it would be dangerous to actually allow poor Granny and Grandpa to see their own Library folder!

I spent over 2 hours trying to explain to my mother (absorbing international phone charges to boot) how to find that folder until I figured out it had been disabled. Talking her through doing:

chflags nohidden ~/Library

in Terminal.app was even worse. I forgot about Go->Go To Folder in the menus.

Even after all of this, according to Qt, these are the correct platform specific places for these types of Application specific support files.
