How do you import overview settings (name.yaml file) into your account on a Macintosh client?

I have a name.yaml file. I know how to get to the import dialog box. However, when I get there, there is no filename in the dialog box. There is no file picker, either.

This leads me to believe I must put the name.yaml file in a specific directory on the Macintosh, but I have no idea what directory that would be/.

Do you guys?

Thanks!

Use the finder's Go to Folder menu item to go to ~/Library, and from there you can click the rest of the way. Here's the path to the directory where you should put your file to import:

~/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/p_drive/User/My Documents/EVE/Overview

It's also possible to import overview settings using links in the client, and at least one major overview setting package (the SaraShawa Overview Pack) has switched to distributing their settings that way. If you're importing a setting package from another player, you might encourage them to investigate doing something like that themselves.

You can also find the library folder by clicking on the "go" menu in the Finder, and hold down Option. The library will show in the list.
