  • Operating system: Ubuntu 16.10
  • Pencil version: 3.0.0-rc1

Currently application stores configuration in ~/.pencil directory, which pollutes home directory. For modern apps it is more common to place configuration in ~/.config/pencil.

Like @nazar-pc pointed out, placing configuration in ~/.directory is deprecated and should be avoided. According to the current freedesktop Base Directory specifications, user configuration is to be placed in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/package which, in Pencil's case is: ~/.config/pencil
