If a save game file (for example) is something that a user might want to double-click on to return to that game, it should be in Documents by default. If it’s merely a persistent store of in-game state that’s restored by an in-game action, then it should probably be in Application Support. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
