[solved] Where are game saves stored?

Post by lock »

Hi guys,
I started playing Morrowind on my main OS X (Mavericks) partition.
Being a OS X developer I'm now testing Yosemite on another partition and I wanted to continue playing the game from there.

If I start OpenMW I only have the option to start a new game and I wasn't able to find any save in user/library/application data.

Where can I find my old saves to copy them on the new partition and continue my game from there?

Many thanks. :)

oh, never mind, I've just found it.

In case anyone else may be interested the save directory is inside: user/library/preferences

Sorry for the false alarm. ;)

Should we maybe put a "open save folder" button in the launcher?

Not overly excited about the idea, because we are trying to keep the launcher as minimal as possible. Still, such a button may be kinda useful in some situations. Let's wait and see how things develop, before we make a decision.

Well, maybe adding it in the topbar menu instead? So it's still there but doesn't make the launcher more complex. :)

The launcher doesn't have a menu bar.
