## Journals
This application needs to know where your Game Journal files are in order to
function.
### Windows
On Windows these will always be in one standard location, because
that's determined by where the game writes them. It will always be:
`Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous`
and this is the default. To access this reliably in a File Explorer window use
the path:
`shell:SavedGames\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\`
*If you ever have a need to move `Saved Games` to another drive then you must
do this via the `Properties` on its right-click menu, else neither the game nor
this application will be able to find the new location.*
### Linux
If you're running the Game via Steam on Linux then your journal files should
be located at:
`~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/359320/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous`
So set `Settings` > `Configuration` > `E:D journal file location` to point to
there.
If you have file-shared the Game Journals from another machine that's
running the game and mounted them on your Linux machine then you will need to
configure this to point to where you mounted them.
### macOS
It has not been possible to run the Game on macOS for many years now, so the
only use of this Application is if you have file-shared the Game Journals and
mounted them on your macOS machine.
Thus you will need to configure `Preferences` > `Configuration` >
`E:D journal file location` to point to where you have mounted them.
