[Docs] Clarify Saved Data Location on Mac
Currently, this section of the docs exists but is blank. New users might not understand how to view hidden folders, but @JohnGriffiths explained that this is done as part of an existing convention.
Location in Docs: https://neurotechx.github.io/eeg-notebooks/getting_started/loading_and_saving.html?highlight=saving#macos
Full Clarification for location on Mac:
You can find recording files for all experiments in a folder called .eegnb in the User's Home folder, as seen in the following screenshot.
I like the language already in place for the windows file location:
The default directory is found at the location C:\Users*USER_NAME*.eegnb an example of which is pictured below.
On Mac, the default directory is found at the location /Users/*USER_NAME*/.eegnb/
, as seen in the picture below.
[Use Picture Attached to this Issue]
John suggests maybe just copying this data to the Documents folder.
It's still important for data to be stored in these hidden folders, as this is a standard used by applications.
@retiutut - do you need any help / pointers / discussion in implementing this?
I think there is enough info here to implement a solution. It might help for me to ask some questions later.
Maybe this involves:
- [ ] Make a change to the Docs to clarify info
- [ ] Making a change to the code in the eeg-nb command line script
