What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

After the Dolphin updater runs, the following are left behind in /Applications:

  • Updater.log
  • A directory named TempUpdate containing lots of binary files related to the update (39 MB in my case)

Suggestions:

  • The Updater should not create any log or temporary files in /Applications. The /Applications directory is for apps only.
  • Logs and temp files should be stored in standard MacOS locations such as ~/Library/Logs and /private/var/tmp
  • The temp directory TempUpdate should be deleted or at least cleaned out after the update process is complete

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Run a Dolphin update

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes - 5.0-10411 Branch: master
Revision: a4837a5c5dc5d71f4b93dcb2fd5b80c5cfab381a

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

[Yes/No and version number here]

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

[First broken version number here (if applicable)]

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

[PC specs here]

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

I tested again recently with 5.0-11608 and the issue is still present. Not the end of the world but means manual cleanup of the TempUpdate directory and Updater.log file junk it leaves behind.
