Follow-up Comment #4, bug #55873 (project octave):

Could the actual location be made adjustable, with the system-dependent
defaults suggested as e.g., in comment #2 ? Maybe through an environment
setting or a system-wide pref in share/octave/site/m/startup/

BTW, I'd second %LOCALAPPATA% on Windows systems (as %APPDATA% isn't meant for
large(r) files cf. the specs in:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/app-settings/store-and-retrieve-app-data
)
(although admittedly my own roaming profile at work is several 100s of MBs and
on this home PC it is >700 MB.)

What would the optimal location on Mac OSX be?
