~/k5nCal not appropriate (world-readable) on Mac OS
Status: Beta
Brought to you by:

By default, on Mac OS X, all users' home directories are world-readable.
By default, access restrictions apply to subdirectories such as
~/Desktop
~/Documents
~/Library
As
~/k5nCal
is created by k5n Desktop Calendar, it's world-readable.
A more appropriate path should be:
~/Library/Application Support/k5nCal

Good suggestion. I use a java call for getting the user's home directory, which should work across platforms. However, I can see for Mac OS X it would make more sense to put it where you've suggested.

Since this doesn't prevent usage, I'm changing this to a feature request.
