For those of you who cannot locate your EvE folder by opening your Macintosh HD symbol and clicking on the Library folder. . . . try this instead.

1. From the finder window, go to the menu bar at the top and click on "Go"

2. While that drop-down menu is open, click and hold the "option" key.

3. You will see a "Library" folder pop up inside the "Go" menu. Click on it

4. Follow this path. Application Support > EVE Online > p_drive > My Documents > EVE

5. Once there, you will see 4 folders.
- "Capture" (where your screenshots will be located)
- "Fittings" (used to find your exported fittings, or to import XML files into your fittings in EvE)
- "Logs" (find all records of your chat window logs here)
- "Overview" (exported overview settings and location for dropping overview packs to import)

For frequently used folders, I recommend right clicking on the folder and selecting "Make Alias". Then drag the new alias folder to your desktop for quick access in the future.

Enjoy!

Better place to put the alias, throw it in your Documents folder. Then, if you're using, say EFT running in Winebottler, you can set the preferences for the Winebottle to point the "Windows" My Documents folder to your ~/Documents folder and you can easily import and export your fits to your EVE install. Also, if you have multiple installs, it's a really good idea to use symbolic links in your additional installs to use a single folder for your EVE folder so you can keep your fits and exported overview settings consist across all of the installs. I have a tutorial on my website for doing that here: http://krispydingo.com/archives/81.
