OSX can't locate installations

[beldougie]

I have all of my KSP installs (and all of my Steam games to be fair) on an external drive that is accessed via /Volumes/{drivename}/STEAM_LIBRARY/steamapps/common/. I can run CKAN using mono, no problem, but when I click the 'add new' button, the path tree is wrong. It seems to think it's on Windows or something, but it starts at Desktop and then won't let me traverse higher in the tree (my desktop is some 4 or 5 nodes below the root of the drive.

This makes it unusable because I can't access the installations I have. Would love to try this out at some point though if you can address this. Cheers,

However, I have just installed with homebrew and with the command line I'm able to access the correct installations ok - it's just running from mono ckan.exe seems to nerf the path detection.

Hope that helps

I had a similar problem. My Steam games are installed on a second internal hard drive. I cannot see that volume regardless of whether I run mono ckan.exe or install the homebrew version and run it. I had to use Terminal and the command line options to get my install recognized.

Adding @McJones to this issue, who's also reported this.

KSPPathUtils.cs contains the Steam detection code. I'd love a patch that does find KSP under OSX. :)

Closing this with the application of #1480; our next release (today) should show some relief. :)
