Migrating RavenCore-QT.app with Application Support dir for MacOS #1094

Open Bidon15 opened 3 years ago

Bidon15 commented 3 years ago

As the block directory becomes bigger in size, those who are sitting on 256gb Macs(as me) are going to struggle in the nearest future with built-in storage capacity.

There is a wonderful guideline on how to install raven-core qt app for MacOS

Unfortunately, I haven't find a "native" way how to set datadir location in settings bar after migrating the RavenQT.app from built-in to external drive, so I can just change the Application Support directory location in the app itself(something like this)

Hot-fix solution: Update the guide with information on how to use AppleScript (done that - works fine) Ideal solution: Have a new settings option to set a data directory location path

Cheers for the work done so far folks 🥳

I can drop a doc PR for the hot-fix, if this is ok for the community. Will be glad to read the feedback on this 🤩

A doc with a description of the hotfix would be great. Even if we just froze the dev-branch for the upcomming audit and release on master (means a PR wont be directly merged), it would be a great resource to point people to.

Ok. I'll drop a PR with the docs and leave the link to it here, then

I installed Raven Core 4.3.2.1 and was asked where I wanted the data to live. I suspect this issue can be closed?
