OSX ads a 3th level to that, although I have never used that myself (technically there are 4 levels, but that isn't important unless you are Apple). > > Michael seems to be arguing for not using the standard OSX locations > because the Finder can't edit them anyway. Is that true? The Finder can open OSX locations just fine, but you cannot see dot-files (or -directories) in the Finder. I won't argue this anymore, at least not this week. I'll work around the issue in my private tree if that's what's needed. Ronald -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
