Re: [porting-dev] [Mac OS X] Directory for user data

Yes, the description for location of user configurable files very explicitly states that the correct place is indeed ~/Library/Application Support/

Hi Oliver,

I'd assume "Preferences" is a legacy location (that constant did exist
even in Mac OS 7). In that case OSX apps should use the newer
"Application Support" (and the OOo user directory contains more than
preferences anyhow).

see above...
 

BTW: Does either of them yield a location in the home directory instead
of a system one?

the location IS in user/home directory.
