/Library/Application Support on OS X client

[Former user]

I have noticed that Serviio keeps configuration settings inside Serviio.app on the Mac OS X client.

The proper convention for application data to be stored is in:

~/Library/Application Support (for per-user settings)

or

/Library/Application Support (for system-wide settings, would require elevated privileges, NOT recommended unless for helper agents)

and/or in:

~/Library/Preferences (recommended)

/Library/Preferences (again for helper agent settings used by the system)

The .app file should just contain executable code and associated resources and not any user-configurable settings.

in idzski initial report there are two missing characters in the user's Library paths. They must start with ~:

~/Library/Application Support (for per-user settings)

~/Library/Preferences (recommended)

It's probably obvious for *nix users/developers, but just in case.
