When I wrote Fl_Preferences in what feels like the 70's (it was probably in the middle of 90's), there were many conflicting systems across platforms.

Always glad to read that you're still around and watching FLTK development.

... This lead to the constructor that is mentioned below, where the vendor field is purely used to write the second line of text in the file header, but it is no longer part of the filename.

Okay, then that's the reason why it's not used in the filename and we know that this was intended. Great, then we can finish this thread, the question(s) have been answered.

Well, a small sentence about the usage of the vendor parameter in the docs could be helpful though. We may want to add that...

Hoping my ramblings helped a little bit.

Yep, thanks!

This should be checked then:

- is it "correct" (*intended* to be) w/o vendor?
- backwards compatibility with 1.3 ?
- other constructors and paths ?

If it turns out to be wrong and someone has a quick fix, I'd be glad to read about it here and/or see a commit.

Otherwise we could open a GitHub issue so this will not be forgotten.

So I conclude there's no need to open an issue.
