Is there a simple way to find and access the Resources folder? This has become a problem of late since the Resources folder can be named differently across platforms now.
For example, on Linux and Windows it’s called “AppName Resources” but on the Mac it’s called simply “Resources”. (It always used to be just “Resources” and I’m not sure when this changed.)
There is no entry in SpecialFolder, so any suggestions?
it’s worth noting that you still can use just Resources on Windiws and Linux if you want. The reason for the change to the default behavior was for the users that have more than one app living in the same folder, without a shared resources folder.
I’m fine with that change, I think it’s a good one. I’d like to see the same change on the Mac too, but still need an easy way to find the “right” folder.
Yes, the console is exactly where the problem appeared. We have a server app that can be deployed to Mac or Linux. We just noticed that it was using an outdated file because the new deployment contained both “Resources” (old) and “AppName Resources”.
I’m working on code right now to use a placeholder file in Resources to locate the right folder, but that’s a stopgap solution.
