I think this is a misreading of Apple's directory design. It is for more than preferences and caches but for all app-specific files

No, it is not. Library is meant for shared libraries, like vm plugins, and preferences and caches. Nothing more.

Apple is changing this with the app sandbox model, but we have no way to adopt that now. The effort needed to do that well is not available, nor should it be a priority. The centralized code signing model apple suggests is fundamentally evil and designed to take away your freedoms.

For example Amazon's Kindle app puts the ebooks in ~/Library/Application Support/Kindle and these seem to me similar to Pharo images

They have an explicit goal of making it impossible to manipulate ebooks outside the kindle application. That makes them evil, and the solution to avoid, if possible.

I changed the default directories on all systems:

- mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Pharo/images - win: %APPDATA%\Pharo\images - unix: ~/.local/share/Pharo/images

Please don’t.
