Yeah, we need to figure out how to support env vars in the preferences system so that we can distribute a set of default settings that will work on any computer.

Hi all, i'm sorry i haven't really followed the thread entirely, but it should be clear that noone should rely on "c:\program files" or "meine dokumente". There are env variables for that, called ProgramFiles, USERPROFILE and others, so there's hardly any difference to ~.

greetings, Thomas

The problem is, that there is no file called "Dokumente" on the machine, the actual file (or folder) is called "Documents". However the Finder - which I thought was a *File* manager, but it seems, it isn't one - showed a folder called "Dokumente", which just doesn't exist!

It just depends on what your expectations from the file manager are. I'm happy with such a scheme as long as it's easy for me to find what the untranslated name is.

That's one thing, that's better on MS-Windows, where "My Documents" on a english machine actually is a folder "Meine Dateien" on a german windows box. Of course the unixish '~' is even better and solves all language problems. ;)

The latter is not a joke. Expecting the directory "C:\\Program Files" to exist on Windows is a common mistake. A database of untranslated names to translated names is required. On OSX, programs don't have to make the translations themselves, because the translations are made only in the user interface.
