To make my Python scripts cross-platform, I need to find out where Poser 7 stores its poser.ini file on Mac OS. I don't have a Mac, so I can't find out for myself.

Could anybody help me out here? Thanks in advance

hi svdl, don't know about poser pc ini file or = on a mac, but here are ur options: files that are outside the normal root dir of the install, which i think is pretty much the same on both platforms. perhaps the xml file, which has runtime location in it?

I'm looking for the file called poser.ini, with contents like in the attached text file.

Poser 6 stores this file in :/runtime/prefs/poser.ini

Poser 7 stores this file in "documents and settings/%username%/applcation data/poser 7/poser.ini" - on a PC.

Where does Poser 7 store this file on a Mac?

svdl, pretty sure macs don't use the filetype of ini. we have preferences and plists and all the other stuff in that screencap, most of which i don't understand nor want to. i think you are going to have to look inside those files to see what it is you need...or there is surely someone here that knows more about mac then i do...i'm pathetic when it comes to that kinda stuff...

oh, i just saw ur attachment. the file you are looking for is the one called "Poser Prefs" located in the ~/Library/Preferences/Poser 7 directory. Learn something new everyday!

Unlikely as it may seem, this mentioned in "Poser 7 Readme.txt" ;)

Now I only need to find out the /Users// folder name from Python. In Windows, I can do this using os.environ["APPDATA"].
Anyone who knows how to do this for the Mac?

It's likely that the following is what you want :-

os.path.expanduser("~")

Thanks. Now that you mention it, I remember reading about expanduser in the Python docs.
