Cerulian, learn how to program a Mac app
Oct. 27th, 2020 02:07 pmCerulian, wtf kind of file path was /that/?!
Okay, for anyone else who may be wondering, as of version 6 for Mac, the file path to where Trillian locally stores chat logs on a Mac is:
Home -> Library -> Containers -> com.cerulianstudios.trillian.osx -> Data -> Library -> Application Support -> Trillian -> Users -> [yourusername] -> logs
Yes, for real. There are a really insane number of recursive aliases back to Home and Library folders stuck in there, and Cerulian built an extra Application Support folder down this access path. I had to sit there and stare for a while, mouthing 'what the fuck' at the screen, and that's after my disbelief over technology shenanigans has, frankly, been hung by the neck until dead by various of my faculty this year.
I promptly created a shortcut for the Trillian folder and stuffed it into the Library where I can find it again.
