Wow, I must confess I had never even heard of 'Haiku', so I had to go and look it up! : On 22 May 2014, at 2:11 am, Joe Prostko <joe.pros...@gmail.com> wrote:

OS X is actually quite simple: Preference files can be named anything, but should NOT be 'dot-files' (as these are normally kept invisible by the system). To avoid name-collision, Apple suggest developers use a reverse-dns notation to name their app support files - like "com.mycompany.myapp.prefs". - preferences for a single user should be stored in "~/library/preferences/" - preferences for all users in the machine should be stored in "/library/preferences/" Mac users tend to frown at apps that create invisible folders in their home directory. A friend of mine downloaded the Atom text editor recently released by the GitHub folks, and installed it on his Mac - just to quickly uninstal it, once he found out it wrote one (or two) invisible config files to his home directory... I envy programmers like you who talk about hacking directly at C code, as if you were just editing a web page. That is a bit beyond my capabilities, but I am very glad there are people like you who use your superpowers for the benefit of us, mere mortals! ;-) Kindest regards, -- Igor Couto Sydney, Australia
