Description Spies Steven 2007-10-01 16:27:25 UTC

SqueezeCenter for Macintosh is currently writing prefs to ~/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/prefs/ it should write prefs to ~/Library/Application Support/SqueezeCenter/ or similar.  One of the problems this causes is the loss of prefs during an update.

Comment 1 KDF 2007-10-01 21:11:45 UTC

is this valid for 10.3 as well as 10.4?  I'm new to 10.4, and I'm not familiar with the "application support" folder tree.

Comment 2 Blackketter Dean 2007-10-01 22:06:02 UTC

I believe that 10.3 and 10.4 both have  ~/Library/Application Support/

Comment 3 Michael Herger 2007-10-08 07:14:46 UTC

Dean - where would I find code for this? Is it a shell script? C code?

Comment 4 Blackketter Dean 2007-10-13 23:32:55 UTC

You should be able to create the paths in perl in OSDetect.pm

something like this should do it.  note that logs and cache dirs still point to SlimServer naming.

Comment 6 Blackketter Dean 2007-10-14 08:40:14 UTC

Ah, that's good.  But let's take the opportunity to fix all the OSX paths at once and move away from ~/Library/SlimDevices to ~/Library/Application Support/SqueezeCenter for plugins, etc...  as well as rename to SqueezeCenter for logs, caches etc. when writing out.

Untested patch of what I'm thinking attached.
