Along the same theme of "publicly available" folders and files,
remember that the user can set Spotlight preferences to exclude
folders (and their contents) from being indexed, so that is not a
reliable option either.
I would think the best way is to do an 'installer' handler, but that
might assume no new Rev versions over the years, and deleting the
old. Perhaps bundle the .so files in your app so you know where they
are.

What is the best way, on a Mac, to get the path to the various files

2.9, 3.0

version of Rev,
how would you find say the revdb.so for a particular version of Rev?
Don't know about "best", but how about:
put "3.0.0" into tVersion
put shell("locate revdb.so") into tFiles
filter tFiles with "*/" & tVersion & "*"
as long as the locate file database has been updated recently.
However (if I understand correctly), locate only returns file paths
on *publicly available* volumes. I used it to look for one of my Rev
standalones; it missed everything except the copies on my external
HDs. I used 'find' to get paths on my internal (non-public) HD and
again just in my user account - it worked, but it's very slow. It
walks all directory trees.
