CX: changing location of settings

As we fight constant problems regarding permissions on OSX with TED, as a first stept I would like to change the location where it stores it settings, to the ones that you should actually use by the OS manufacturer.

For an example, on windows it could be C:/Users/<USER>/AppData/Local/<APPNAME> and on OSX ~/Library/Application Support/<APPNAME>. This way the settings would also not be lost when you update Cx to a new version.

Same goes for created html docs. They should be created elsewhere. And examples should be copied into a writeable path so you can compile them there without a problem.

The current situation forces changes to app permissions and stuff like that and goes against OS rules.

Any objections?
 
html docs and examples to userdata? No objection as such, but I'd have no clue how CX would handle this on install / update. Should CX always rewrite those two with the risk that examples modified by the user are reset or only write them when they don't already exist with the risk that users miss updates to docs and examples? o_O
 
So on Linux the path would be something like "~/.cerberusx", right?
