Hi Ben, It's cultural I would say. The purpose of the Library folder is to hold preferences, caches, et cetera. Never user documents. There is a bunch of stuff in there that actually I don't even have an idea of. Moreover, as standard the Library is a hidden folder now. On Dec 22, 2013, at 7:50 AM, btc@openinworld.com wrote:
Johan, I don't use a Mac so... Is the "Show in folder" menu item not sufficient to make it less black-magic - or is there a greater cultural aversion to putting images under Library?
Damien, Maybe for cross-platform consistency that is a Pharo feature (mostly), this should wait until there are similar installers for Windows & Linux - and my apologies I hadn't had time to work on the Windows installer - work picked up but hopefully the Christmas break will give me some time.
cheers -ben

Also, I think it is very wrong to keep the images in the Library folder by default. The Library is "hidden" and a "black magic - do not touch" area for the common user. A sensible default is the Documents folder.
