[Psi-Devel] location of conf files redux

[Hal Rottenberg]

I've brought this up before on Windows.  This morning a user brought it up
regarding Macs:

[07:37:06] <nicoduck> i have a question: why does not psi store the
app data (under mac os x) in the normal ~/Library/Application_Support
folder?
[07:59:27] <halr9000> is that the "correct" place to do so?
[07:59:49] <halr9000> the short answer is that I believe the devs
wanted a consistent location across the 3 platforms we support
[08:00:09] <halr9000> but it's always bugged me that on Windows
psidata is not stored in ~/Application Data
[08:01:00] <halr9000> I'm not a Mac user, nor a dev (I'm the
webmaster), so I can't say with authority what is or what should be
done
[08:01:16] <halr9000> but if other apps store data in
~/Library/Application_Support on a mac--I agree with you
[08:03:46] <nicoduck> jep
[08:03:48] <nicoduck> they do so
[08:04:10] <nicoduck> it is the compliant to the ~/Application Data on windows
[08:04:33] <nicoduck> and i'm not very happy about it, because i
realized it AFTER i reinstalled my mac
[08:04:53] <nicoduck> and lost all logs, since thy are stored in a
different directory
