Hi There,
Well, I agree that up to the Alpha3b of MakeHuman for Mac OS X uses a quite "unusual" location to store exports (and models either). The folder exports is located within the
applications bundle!
If you dive into the
Applications bundle you will see a directory named Resources/exports and another one which is named Resources/exports among a couple of others which belong to the application. The folders 'exports' and 'models' are the actual locations to store exports and models as well.
Now you will surely ask "How could I locate these locations"? I don't see them!
This is simple: Just make a "RIGHT-Click" on the MakeHuman application icon. Then the system issues a context menu. Herein select the Entry "Show Package Contents". Then a Finder Window should open. Now you are in the Applications package which is hidden for the user!
Herein move to Contents / Resources. And there you should find the directory 'exports'.
This is the location on which the exports are stored!I'm aware that this a quite bad location to store custom data. Bad because of several reasons. The worst argument is that storing customs data into the applications bundle means that they will be lost when the Application is replaced since the Application Bundle *is* the application.
So, the upcoming alpha 4 for Mac OS X will solve this issue because there you may customize these paths!
In addition the default location (which now badly resides) in the apps Resources folder will move as follow:
- All exports will be stored in the users 'document' folder at Documents/MakeHuman/exports/
- All users models will be stored in the users 'document folder' at Documents/MakeHuman/models/
- All screen shots made by the user will be stored on the users Desktop
Does this helped to answer your question?
