Hi Sarah,
Hello all you Linux/Unix gurus out there,
I was hoping someone would be able to tell me a few things about where such systems put various types of files.
Where so you store preferences? I see that the specialFolderPath() function is Windows & Mac only, so how would I know where to store preferences on a Linux system?
Where should an application be installed? And what if I want the application to be available to a particular user only e.g. on my Mac OS X system, I have /Applications for apps that everyone can use and /Users/sarah/Applications for apps that only I can use. The second is better if I need to write to the application folder as the user has write access to that folder even if not an admin user (at least I think that is correct).
you can use -> $HOME to get the current users home directory.
... put $HOME & "/" into folder2store_the_prefs_and_other_things ...
Works on Unix, OS X (and on Linux probably, not tested).
If the user cannot write in his home directory, then it's no use anyway :-)
TIA, Sarah
