Oh certainly it is appreciated. I just thought I'd mention it as something to keep in mind in the future, in order to avoid cross-platform issues from the beginning.

I guess I was wrong then.
That should teach me to make assumptions.
(I guess it really depends on the app. I know they prefer if at all possible to not do that, it reduces the "portability" angle by potentially leaving unwanted cruft on the host computer.)
It doesn't look like there is any way to override the settings folder location in Sigil.
(And it uses the deprecated-since-5.4 DataLocation, rather than AppDataLocation on Windows and AppConfigLocation on unix -- did Qt have to split it?
-- which explains why the config folder is in ~/.local/share/sigil-ebook -- I have always wondered at that non-standard location.)
