Hi all,

we've got AudioUnit plug-ins that write files that need to be accessible by all users, and have always put them in /Library/Application Support/Antares/..., but in Lion, our plug-ins are not able to write under Application Support unless the user first changes the permissions to allow Admin to have Read/Write access to that folder.

Is there a way our Iceberg-based installers can modify the permissions on that folder? Or, is there a new location under Lion for all-user application files? (And if so, how would our plug-ins know they were running under Lion and be able to access the "correct" location?)

I've always thought that /Users/Shared is the correct location for shared user files (as the name implies :). It's writeable by all, but the sticky bit is set so users can only rename or delete their own files. -- Per Olofsson System Administrator, IT-services, University of Gothenburg _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
