Default location for configuration files - MacOS?
app-config, configuration-files, macos
Solution
I think it must be `~/Library/Application Support/<appname>/<appname>.cfg` See the table in Mac App Programming Guide : "The Mac Application Environment" -> "Low-Level Details of the Runtime Environment" -> "The File System".
Problem
In a cross-platform application, I am working with a configuration file that allows the user to override various defaults if he wishes to. The problem I have is... where to place / look for this configuration file, especially with regards to MacOS X (which I never used and have no access to)? I know that MacOS X is based on Unix, but I also know that many things are done very much differently there... My current choices: Unix: ``` ~/.config/<appname>/<appname>.cfg ``` Windows (shomewhat unsure about this one too, things seem to be all over the place here - %LOCALAPPDATA% or %USERPROFILE% seem to be valid choices too): ``` %APPDATA%/<appname>/<appname>.cfg ``` MacOS: ``` ...? ``` Any comments, on MacOS or my other choices?
