I have no preference for the extension, only the location. Since we're making this up, why not use the most standard; although I thought the objection is that there may be more than config info there?
Now that I think about it. I do not understand the motivation for this file in general. Will someone give a use case?
The use case of shared scripts between images is that I ( and Stef, and probably other people) download maybe 3-4 images from Jenkins per day, because I have to work one the last version of Pharo (for compatibility by example). So it's really boring (and time consuming) to have to set my preferences to have a nice environment to work with all the time. I want to specify them once and for all, put them into a preferences folder, and then, each image is responsible to load preferences at launch time. I also think that other project could use such a folder but :) Ben
Why not just do whatever it is in the start up list?
