This is not urgent and can wait until next version but since already discussed, here my proposal:

Like discussed in "[PD] Preferred/best practice for loading external objects" thread also config files should be made to freedesktop standard conform like described in

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

from $(HOME)/.pdsettings to

(suggestion) $(HOME)/.config/pd/settings.conf

so configs from one computers home can be copied to another on migration, upgrade.

Hello,

Sorry for jumping on this late but I'm on a Linux box as well and it looks like pd already makes a folder pure-data in .config and stores a list of the recently opened files to recentfiles.conf so I'd like to slightly modify your suggestion to:

${HOME}/.config/pure-data/settings.conf
