Bluefish: where are the preferences saved?

I have just tried out Bluefish as an alternative to my regular text editor. If I save the modified preferences and reboot, the preferences have to be reentered again. Does anyone know which file the preferences are saved in?
The command

find / -mmin -5 | grep bluefish

yields zero hits.
Thanks in advance

Maybe you can find it here:

Bluefish: The Definitive Guide

Yes, got it, it is ~/.bluefish. The manual mentions configurations and preferences interchangingly.
