1.5.14.1 ApplicationSupport

This directory contains bundles and other resources that are provided for an application, but that are not specifically distributed with that application. For instance, these may be third-party resources for an application.

For example, modules for the Preferences application may be stored here, in a Preferences subdirectory. In particular, Palettes for Gorm are stored in ApplicationSupport/Palettes.

In GNUmakefiles, this location is available via the GNUSTEP_APPLICATION_SUPPORT variable, which is the location for the domain in which the software will be installed. You can also reference the locations in the various domains directly by using the variables GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_APPLICATION_SUPPORT, GNUSTEP_NETWORK_APPLICATION_SUPPORT, GNUSTEP_LOCAL_APPLICATION_SUPPORT and GNUSTEP_USER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT.

In gnustep-base, the ApplicationSupport locations are available by using the NSApplicationSupportDirectory directory key for NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains().
