Re: [hatari-devel] Screenshots are saved in Hatari installation directory

[Sebastien Laborie <sebastien-laborie@xxxxxxxxx>]

 

Hi Nicolas,

 

I understand.

This is not a problem as long as Hatari is not installed in the Applications folder.

Indeed on macOS, Applications are not supposed to write files in the Applications folder. 

There are special directories for application data.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Seb.
