This might seem a little bit pointless, but worth a suggestion anyway…

The PropertiesFile::createDefaultAppPropertiesFile() function is uber useful, but a lot of the time i feel that i’d like to have a default app Xml document to keep settings in, and those times i have to bend the propertiesFile function to my needs. I think it’d be pretty neat to have a similar function as a static member of File, to do the same thing but not involve a PropertiesFile that isn’t getting used.

I guess I could add a method to PropertiesFile that creates the filename without actually returning a PropertiesFile object. Not sure if the File class would be the best place for it though.
