Well, there is Mac OS 8-9 and Mac OS X.
Mac OS 8-9:
The search path for the ini/pref file is:
/System Folder/Preferences
There is no where else it should be saved. Andrew can tell you what
the format is (I don't think it is xml/plist).
Mac OS X:
I think if we had the option, it would be better to save info in an xml
formated plist file and look for it at:
~/Library/Preferences
/Library/Preferences
I joined this tread late too. What exactly is going in the ldraw.ini
besides location of ldraw folder? Has that been decided?
Like Andrew said, Mac OS X keeps a pref file for every app, and the
system uses that file to store anything that uses system API's like
window position, and last locations in the open/save dialogs. But if
we are going to use a centralized pref for info like LDraw folder
location, once we decide what to do, the hard work is done.
Andrew and I are the only active Mac-only developers. Erik Olson is
the only other one that I know of, and I haven't heard anything from
him for over a year. Oh, there was a guy at Apple who wrote something,
but he moved on. And of course there are the multi-platform apps like
Ldglite, L3P, and LDView. I told Travis I was going to update the Mac
LDView to the current version, but then something happened and I quit
doing LDraw stuff. I hope to update it one day. I could at least
update the current Mac version of LDView so that it at least looks for
prefs in a new location (but it will still be a very old version of
LDView). Maybe we could try to get Erik to update BrickDraw3D.
