## 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.

||||

||||
