| Summary | 0006599: Mac OSX default folder should be: ~/Documents/Mixbus3 | ||||
| Description | Storing sessions in the $HOME folder is a really bad idea for typical users. Newest versions of Mac do not provide easy access to the HOME folder. Let's follow convention by storing sessions in ~/Documents/Mixbus3 | ||||

Another seemingly small change with more to it than meets the eye. The folder needs to exist, before we can set it as default and offer it in the dir-browser. ~/Documents/ is trivial But ~/Documents/Mixbus3 or ~/Documents/Ardour4 or ~/Docunments/ArdourSessions/ is not. If we're going to create the dir, I think we should just use the Product name, no major version. |

Is there a status update on this? |

I tried to change the default, it does not work for some reason and falls back to $HOME. Checked preferences, removed existing user-config.. and postponed the issue up digging for an hour. Must be something simple :) I deemed it not worth to spend more time on it for now. The chicken/egg with creating the folder first, but deleting it if the user selects a different folder during initial setup still stands, though. |
