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.
