Where do I put the file?


  • Subject: Where do I put the file?

I am writing a little one-window app (basically a specialized to-do list), and since it only has one file, I would like to avoid bothering the user with the file handling stuff if at all possible. A similar model is used by iTunes and iPhoto. They take care of all the file stuff behind the scenes. iTunes keeps it's library in the music folder, and iPhoto keeps it's stuff in the pictures folder. But a to-do list has nothing to do with either, so I can't put my file in either of those places.

So, where do I put the file?

My first thought was documents, but that is not right either, since the documents folder should contain only files which the user made themselves. That leaves the library... but where in the library?

Please help... I am very confused!

Thanks,
Jon

P.S. Since Apple is (correctly) encouraging this type of interaction maybe they will add (or have added?) a special folder somewhere to hold these types of files.
