I thought the backwards compatible not breaking any tutorials location Dan selected of the recordings directory in the application folder itself is fine for 3.2.
"grep -ri recordings ." on the help directory finds 3 legitimate mentions of the recordings directory (none of which are tutorials)...I can easily fix these.
As you say, those who want it in a 'Music' folder in their home directories can set the classvar themselves.
Yes, but /Applications/SuperColider/recordings is a terrible default. User data should never be written to /Applications.
perhaps make this directory a string that is defined in Platform?
Yes, this would be better.
defaultRecDir - a class variable to set and return the location for recordings, default is "recordings" in the SuperCollider directory. Example of how to set a new path for the location of recordings:Server.defaultRecDir = "~/Desktop".standardizePath // record to the Mac Desktop
I'll add this regardless of whether or not the "~/Music/SuperCollider Recordings" commit goes through.
