Greetings

I was wondering if anyone here could tell me where data is stored for EVE online? In particular I run EVE on three computers and would like all settings to mirror my main computer. This information on a Mac normally resides in Pref or Application support. I have seen old files under App Support but they appear to be very old, as if EVE once used this but no longer does. I have found that by looking at package content you can delve into the files sub-folders, I just do not know where to look for the Preference files that hold Character preferences.

The default path to locally stored data is:
~/Library/Application Support/EVE Online

From a Finder window you can use SHIFT + COMMAND + G to open a dialog box where you can type in the above path.

Thank you for answering my quest. Once in that file confirm it is p_drive /local settings/application data/ CCP/ EVE/c_program tranquility/ settings. In order to duplicate my prefferences to all my computers?

Also why does the overview and screen portrates save to a folder in the rescources folder when you view contents of the application itself?
