Mac OSX Invalid File Reads (User folders should be in Application Support)

Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
A. Running Dolphin.app (following MacOSX Build instructions)
- In Binary/Darwin-i386/ there are: Dolphin.app, DolphinNoGUI, Plugins,
Sys, and User, which seems to be OK.
- Run Dolphin.app in finder.
- Click the Config button, an error will occur: PANIC Could not read
./User/Wii/shared2/sys/SYSCONF. Please recover the SYSCONF file to that
location. (Actually it is there.)
So yes, it just is under the Dolphin tree, but still got that error.
B. Running DolphinNoGUI
~/prj/src/dolphin-emu/Binary/Darwin-i386$ ./DolphinNoGUI
~/Downloads/gc.ikaruga.chinese.iso
Error loading DLL
/Users/leo/prj/src/dolphin-emu/Binary/Darwin-i386/PlugIns/libPlugin_PadSimple.dylib:
dlopen(/Users/leo/prj/src/dolphin-emu/Binary/Darwin-i386/PlugIns/libPlugin_PadSimple.dylib,
6): image not foundFailed to load PAD plugin
/Users/leo/prj/src/dolphin-emu/Binary/Darwin-i386/PlugIns/libPlugin_PadSimple.dylib
Couldn't init the core.
Check your configuration.
(Even with libPlugin_PadSimple I'll get a 'Bus error'.)
I've even tried copying the SYSCONF to .\User\config as suggested in ISSUE
#345 without success.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN R1790. Had the same problem on other SVN's. MacOS 10.5.6
- Status changed from New to Questionable
For A), It's looking for SYSCONF in ~/Library/Application Support/Dolphin/User/Wii/shared2/sys/SYSCONF.
Should we embed a set of default files in the app bundle, and make Dolphin.app copy them there upon first run
if they are missing?
The rest of dolphin seems to go for a embedded approach. I would recommend embedded
not as the better choice, but to match the layout of dolphin.
Please find a solution which will be good for all platforms not only osx...
Personally I think the change should be reverted at all, we don't yet support
installation dir properly and this bug will just make someone solve it in a hacky way
to get rid of it
Not sure if I should open a separate issue for this, but:
After reading bushing 's comment, I moved the User folder AND the Plugins and Sys
folders to ~/Library/Application Support/Dolphin/
(No plugins would appear under Dolphin Configuration > Plugins until I moved the
Plugins folder)
Clicking Config on the Graphics plugin or the DSP plugin does nothing and causes
Dolphin to crash. The Pad and Wiimote config work, however.
- Status changed from Questionable to Accepted
Platform consistency is overrated. :) The three platforms are different, and when they have specific rules that
every other application follows, we should try to follow them. If that means filling in support for Linux and
Windows, then sure, let's do that. What needs to be done for those platforms?
The PlugIns should actually be inside the app bundle; the code is apparently looking in the wrong spot, but I can
fix that.
Issue 429 has been merged into this issue.
Are we any closer to fixing this??
The dll problem should be fixed I think.
The userdir is still wip
it would be nice to get dolphin for mac fixed.
i got some output from running the actual app in terminal, this looks like it shows
the actual problem.
