Sorry if this has been addressed before, but I am unable to find anything on Goggle or the forums about where to find exported fittings on Mac OSX Lion. I have searched my computer for the name of the fitting, but it does not exist. However, after saving a fitting, I am able to import it back into Eve.

I want the fitting to use in EveMon... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

You need to access your library folder first, this article will cover that.

Then the path to your overview settings is

/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/p_drive/My Documents/EVE/Overview

That's where the overview is. But the OP asked about exported fittings.

The fittings are stored in the same general area, just the "fittings" folder instead of "Overview":
~/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/p_drive/My Documents/EVE/fittings

That folder will not exist before the first export, though, so it may has to be created manually if you never exported a fitting, but want to import one you created with third party tools.

If you share your fittings across multiple installations or just want easier access to your fittings and Overview folders you can use a little Terminal magic. For this example I wanted to link the folders to the root of my user directory.

First make a "fittings" folder in your home directory. If you want the folder somewhere else you'll need to modify the link command. If you have an existing fittings (or Overview) in your app support then just move them to your home directory. Then type run this in the Terminal:

ln -s ~/fittings ~/Library/Application\ Support/EVE\ Online/p_drive/My\ Documents/EVE/fittings

Since I have multiple clients setup I changed the middle part of that path as needed to point to the right folder. You can do the same thing for shared Overview folders.

Now whenever I export or import from pyfa I use one folder for all clients and can build an Overview in one client and import it into another, even if I have to delete an EVE Application Support folder I still have my files.

Taking it one step beyond you, Rees, if you do have multiple clients, use symbolic links in clients 2, 3, et al to link back to that same folder for the first client in Application Support so when you export/import overview settings and fittings you only have to stick them in one folder and not multiple folders.

Yeah, that's actually what I do for my own setup. I also run client #2 as a thin wrapper with symbolic links back to client #1 so I only have to update one on patch days. However, I seem to have to run the second client from the command line that way because the OS sees app packages.

I haven't looked at the evelopedia pages for Mac lately. Maybe we should write this stuff down in some place official. My old brain doesn't store things as well these days.

Now, what were we talking about?

Yeah, I run my second client the same way. Make an automator app that launches the EVE client from the command line. If you're really clever, you can add an AppleScript to automatically input your password, too Blink
