I'm currently working on a patch that will eventually be used as an app on OSX. I'm trying to stick to the Apple App Store guidelines (no java and folder access allowed only in ~Library/).

Currently I'm using [coll] to store values about the patch, so that it can be 'recalled' when the patch is re-opened. This works fine as a patch but obviously not as a standalone as [coll] cannot write to a text file in a .mxf. I thought the best way to go about doing it would be to save the text file in ~Library/Application Support/My App/. Any thoughts on how I can get Max to find the location of the user's application support folder?

I tried using [shell] but I am quite rubbish at it and I've spent all morning searching the forums with no luck.

[getpath] from jasch objects and [conformpath] seems to do it.
