Hi guys

Ok so windows has common folders like My documents or the registery does the Mac 10.x have anything similar.

Some place I can dump config files so they remain when you uninstall the game.

found something here http://forums.indiegamer.com/showthread.php?t=4248

It seems there's nothing like 'windows register'; you need to manually create some hidden files somewhere like


~/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Application Support

If you have stuff that absolutely has to be global then that can go in

/Library
/Users/Shared


And to make a file hidden just use a 'point' before the name (=~/.yourcompany/yourgame/)
Never tested, but it's something in my long to-do-list

If you find another solution, please post !
