I think that this is a good idea. If I weren't in exams right now I would write up a quick framework with something like that since it is very useful. I have a program that needed to use Application Support (a score list for a game) and the code for it was annoyingly tedious yet trivial in what it was actually doing.

Having a reusable piece of code (I just used containing it in a framework as an example) would be a useful tool since many apps need this sort of storage (basically, anytime you need something be persist between users).


Having a reusable piece of code to do what exactly?

There isn't anything specific that needs doing.. at most it seems what is needed is

- a routine to provide the full-path to the Application Support directory for a specific application
- a routine to create the directories if they don't already exist

and then write the data file out when your application quits.
