Mac Data Location

neojonas · 06-20-2011, 05:05 PM

In OOTP 11 the directories and files like "saved_games" and "ballparks" were stored under /Users/username/Documents/Out Of The Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 11. I can't figure out where they are for OOTP 12...

They are in Library-->Application Support.

At least that's where mine is located.

I knew as soon as I posted that I'd find it. It has moved to here:

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 12

When we prepared OOTP 11 for the Mac app store, I finally read some of the Apple documentation and learned - surprise! - that the proper folder to save application data like saved games it \user home\Library\Application Support\

And that's where you find the OOTP 12 data. Hope that helps!

Well... yes and no. Saved info & preferences for SOME applications belong there. But for OOTP, when you're necessarily interacting a lot with the game data (copying saves, backing up backups, importing/exporting), it can be a real time-saver to have those files directly in the user\documents folder.

Workaround: create a folder alias, which I've done.

From https://developer.apple.com/devcente...0572-CH16-SW9:

Quote:

To promote a more consistent user experience, applications submitted to the Mac App Store must follow certain rules about where they write files.
(....)

Your application may write to the following directories:
- ~/Library/Application Support/<app-identifier>
- ~/Library/<app-identifier>
- ~/Library/Caches/<app-identifier>
where <app-identifier> is your application's bundle identifier, its name, or your company’s name. This must exactly match what is in iTunes Connect for the application.

(...)

Ahh, totally understood. Didn't mean to question you.

Excuse my baseball french, but: what horse****. Apple, who are so obsessed with throwing all of your applications right in front of your face all the time (not easy to create Application subfolders, absolutely no interface customization in their iOS, etc.) still insists that their developers put every single thing in some inaccessible, middle-of-nowhere directory that's already filled with tons of trash from every system application on your drive.

UGH.

(Oh, but, since apparently you're the Apple man... any hope of support for multi-touch trackpads in the future? I'm so used to navigating back/forward in firefox/safari/finder by using a three-finger swipe, OOTP kinda drives me crazy.)

Yeah, exactly my saying

I'll forward this post to two persons: Aurelio because he will laugh *** *** off because you say I'm the Apple man. I'm the only one in the team who has some serious problems with it, but who has to work with it all the time

And Paul, because he's the guy who codes the platform layers for us (PISD) which needs to be improved to support he finger swipe feature

Yes i can confirm this. Andreas is an absolutely non-apple conform. He uses the 3-finger swipe only for other things

I can't find it either. I've looked everywhere.

Found it -- after I read the above.

kev24fan · 06-20-2011, 11:09 PM

Thank you guys. I was looking for that also. I can move moves files from OOTP 11 over to OOTP 12 now.
