Changing default VASSAL folder

Hi all
I’m sure it has been asked before, but I’m not able to find anything about it in the forum.
I’m using Mac OS X and I would like to change the Vassal main directory/folder (the one with the errorLog, key, ext, etc.).
Now it sticks at the main level inside my user Home directory. I would like to move it inside a branch.
Is it possible? Any kind answer is warmly appreciated! :slight_smile:
Thank you in advance.
Ciao,
Alessandro

It’s not possible presently with VASSAL 3.1. VASSAL 3.2 will put
VASSAL’s config files in ~/.VASSAL, which is where they should be on a
UNIX-based system like Mac OS X.

Thank you!

If VASSAL is a UNIX program. If it’s a Mac program it should be in ~/Library/Application Support/VASSAL.

Aha. I see there are also such directories as ~/Library/Cache and
~/Library/Preferences.

Yes. See also “The File System”:

Please check 3.2.0-svn8133 or any later build, to see whether we’re now
doing the correct thing on Mac OS X and on Windows:

Checked Mac, it’s in the correct place.
