I now have two new folders in my "Documents" folder: CSi and Punch!. These should not be placed here, they should be in the Application Support folder in my Home/Library folder. Please fix this - I HATE installers that create files in areas of my file system that are exclusively for MY data - evidence of the Windows paradigm that has no respect for the user.

Would be nice if we could get PhotoRender, Symbols and Templates folders into ~/Library/Application Support too, would make removing and re-installing a whole lot easier.

Nice work by the way Mark :)

All the best

Yes, really ..

.. application support files filed under application support please

Symbols are stored in completely the wrong place - I want to grow a useful library of parts, not ditch it each time I update !!

It'd be like storing your iTunes library in the trash - Only to lose it each time it gets emptied

These folders contain your backup files if you use auto backups. Each user has their own backup folder.

Each user has their own Application Support folder inside the Library folder of their Home directory as well - there is no need to magically create application-specific folders anywhere else to accomplish the same end.
