Hey, thanks for the info.

I've heard it said that 'Knowing is half the battle.'

Subject: RE: <lingo-l> Location of Pref files


All,

> not sure why it ends up here.

Previously we wrote to either Director's application folder for authoring,
in Shockwave we wrote to the player's Prefs folder and in projectors they
were written to a folder next to the projector. For authoring and projectors
this was causing problems on both Windows and OSX systems for users with
restricted priveledges on the machine they're using. For example, I'm a
restricted user at a school, I cannot modify anything inside C:\Program
Files, I try to call setPref() while working on a Director project, it would
fail as I couldn't modify the directory. Therefore we migrated the target
paths to user specific ones so as to avoid write-priveledge issues.

Cheers,
