When I run CoolTerm in Linux Mint, I noticed that it created its own directory under /home/USERNAME/CoolTerm.
I think that this is ugly and I see that all other programs make their own subdirectoty in the .config directory and store every configuration setting overthere (since this directory starts with a point, it is a hidden directory by default).
This means that CoolTerm should have stored its config files in the /home/USERNAME/.config/CoolTerm directory.
Can this be changed in a new release?

I'll see what I can do about this. My concern is that this may break the installations of current users whose config files are in /home/USERNAME/CoolTerm.

Good news! Starting with the next release, CoolTerm will use /home/USERNAME/.config/CoolTerm to store preferences and application data. It will automatically migrate the data from /home/USERNAME/CoolTerm when upgrading from an older version.
