Hey guys… I think I understood the supposed, recommended, and safest directory for putting application support files is SpecialFolder.ApplicationData… In my setup that would be C:\Users\Myname\AppData\Roaming
The question is, whatever I put there is only available for this particular user…right ? So where do I save “general preferences” (and other general supporting files for all users) ?
However be aware that on OS X this may no longer be possible, also Apple prefer you to use sub folders of this folder with the bundle id as the name of the folder.
App Wrapper has the bundle ID of “com.ohanaware.appWrapper3” so the folder used by it in the applicationData is “com.ohanaware.appWrapper3”.
i.e. OS X “~/Library/Application Support/com.ohanaware.appWrapper3”
geez… I don’t get it… which is the right directory to WRITE (and read) general preferences and config files of my app for ALL the users in one windows PC ?
The usual way apps work, would that be on Windows or Mac, is that an app can be available to all users, but each user has its own preferences. Which makes a lot of sense. Like each driver has his own car seat settings
