the /Library folder is for the entire system. I'm not sure how the FTL developers implemented this.. but at best it would mean that everybody on the same computer* shares the same prov.sav file and at worst its ignored. If you simply copy it to your home dir you don't have to upgrade to super user. as zasdarq and I suggested.
so to simplify
1)Copy prof.sav to your home dir
2)Open terminal
3)Code: Select all
mv ~/prof.sav ~/Library/Application Support/FasterThanLight/
you could copy the prof.sav file to the root folder also... which would change step 3 to
3) -alternative-Code: Select all
mv /prof.sav ~/Library/Application Support/FasterThanLight/
you also may want to run the game once to make sure all the folders are created correctly.
*I realize most people probably don't have to share a computer... so this point may not really matter. But if you run backup software you may just want to have to only worry about backing up your own home directory instead of random files scattered around your hard drive...
Sorry if this is a little too much Annoying-correcting-nerd post
