App data location: $XDG_DATA_HOME/Merkaartor (defaults to ~/.local/share/Merkaartor)
Cache location: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/Merkaartor (defaults to ~/.cache/Merkaartor)

For macOS:

Config location: ~/Library/Preferences/Merkaartor
App data location: ~/Library/Application Support/Merkaartor
Cache location: ~/Library/Caches/Merkaartor

Config files:

~/.config/Merkaartor/Merkaartor.conf
