Files dont exist? - mac version #31

Open jamesxr23 opened 2 years ago

jamesxr23 commented 2 years ago

the readme says to copy some files from "~/Library/Preferences/Paradox Interactive/launcherpath"

There is no "paradox interactive" file in ~/library/preferences... or anywhere on my mac for that matter! not sure where the files mentioned in the readme are.

The launcher appears to work, but using any of the launch parameters doesn't, I get an error - this has been attached below. image

Unfortunately I don't have access to a mac to update the code for newer versions of mac after Catalina (that was tested with a VM)

You will not be able to save to a file inside your application bundle due to app translocation (aka path randomization). A more common macOS method would be to use a file or folder in ~/Library/Application Support.

Also, due to the same path randomization, the wrong path is saved in the launcherpath file — the launcher will only be used once. Manually putting the desired path in launcherpath will use Not Paradox Launcher as expected.
