Not reading saves from games SAVEDATA folder, where RLVM gets saves is undocumented

[Jammintk]

I'd like to know where RLVM saves/loads game savedata so that I can continue from where I left off in a VN when away from my primary computer. It would be nice if RLVM used the game's own savedata folder, but that is evidently not the case, as the saves I put in there from my primary PC don't actually show up there.

I found elsewhere that rlvm saves in ~/Users/[Username]/.rlvm but that folder doesn't exist on my macbook.Is it hidden? or is it put somewhere else?

Unices hid folders starting with a dot. Lookslike its "Command – Shift – [period]" to toggle the visibility of those files.

I've recently thought about putting rlvm's save games in a subfolder of the invoked game. It would make working in sandboxed environments easier. However, migration would be an issue to think about.

(The RealLive save format was never reverse engineered; we'll never be able to read those files unless someone wants to try to reverse engineer that and do whatever conversion from RealLive's internal data structures to rlvm's.)

I was just stopping by to add a ticket for storing saves on linux in .local/share/rlvm as per the xdg base directory specification. (like the app data folders on windows). If you were to store them in the game, obviously that would be nearly opposite my suggestion. What do you think?
