问题 Let's say I've got a website that works better if a client has installed and logged into a desktop application. I'd like to be able to do 2 things: Alter the website if they haven't installed the app (to make it easy for them to find a link to the installer) If they've installed the app on a couple of machines, determine which machine they are browsing from I'd like something that works on Windows and OSX, on any of the major browsers.

问题 I created a program that uses images from the Blizzard API service. I created an installer for the program, and I place the images in the "User's Application Data Folder". Installation is excellent, the images are unpacked into the folder "AppData / Roaming / MyApp". There is a need for the images to be deleted, and the program will download them from the Blizzard service itself.

问题 I've noticed on OSX, installation is frequently a drag and drop one file kinda deal. I assume that file is an archive of all the applications necessary bits and that the application runs directly from it. Where does the application store configuration data, particularly per user settings when there are multiple users? On Windows, this type of stuff might go in the registry under HKLU or HKLM, or in the Application Data folder for the user or for all users. 回答1: In /Users/username/Library
