RESOLVED:

As @CraftedIsland said, if you can't find the Picotron folder in MacOS:

• Open the 'Finder' application
• Press Shift + Cmd + G
• Enter: /Users/your-username/Library/Application Support/Picotron

Here you can edit back the files you messed or delete the Picotron folder to fully uninstall and reinstall it with default settings.

ISSUE:

Everytime I open Picotron I get this...

So here's what I did:
I created a "startup.lua" file in "appdata/system/"
I copied the content of "system/startup.lua" and pasted it inside "appdata/system/startup.lua"
I restarted Picotron and I get this...

Yeah I did some dumb things there :(

Thanks for understanding my issue, should I just uninistall and reinstall or is there a fix?
EDIT: It doesn't fix if I uninstall and reinstall... Where are the Picotron files located?

(I'm using Picotron 0.1.0d on MacOS 12.5 intel)

your startup file (in appdata) should not be a copy of the system startup, but only contain additional code you need (to run more apps in systray for example)

@merwok oh ok! thanks, I didn't understand that

Well now Picotron is unusable, I have to uninstall it

EDIT: So I uninstalled and reinstalled but Picotron is still like before!
I'm on mac os, where are the Picotron files saved? I need to get back the default version of Picotron

Picotron's drive should be somewhere around OSX: /Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Picotron/picotron_config.txt I guess
If not, check the mentioned file, there's a mount command pointing to the drive

@Feyn It's not there. I have no "Picotron" folder in "Application Support"
Also, I searched the "picotron_config.txt" file but my PC only finds "Picotron_manual.txt"... wtf

@zep we need an "Uninstall Picotron" software to bypass this issues...

@369369369, I also thought the Picotron folder wasn't there but it's hidden in the Finder app (even when you enable the 'show hidden' files mode).

Could you please try this to locate your Picotron folder:

1. On a mac, open the 'Finder' application
2. Press Shift + Cmd + G
3. Enter: /Users/user.name/Library/Application Support/Picotron
   • Remember to update your username

You should now be in the Picotron folder. Go to 'drive/appdata/' to re-edit your files.

It seems the Finder UI wont show you the Library folder that is within your 'user.name' folder, you need to manually navigate there using a path.

It works for me, but let me know if it doesn't work.

Please note this is a different 'Application Support' folder to the one that you'd find at '/Library/Application Support'.

if you are still able to open drive.loc, simply delete appdata/system/startup.lua and restart picotron. no idea if that'll work but it seems like the simplest solution

@CraftedIsland omg it worked, thank you.
Why is MacOS like that? How do I make the library folder available without doing "shift+cmg+g"?

@369369369
They are two different Library folders. One for the entire computer, and one for your own personal files. I'm not sure how to make your personal 'Library' always available without some googling, sorry.

The easiest workaround would be to create a shortcut to the 'Library' or to 'Picotron':

1. Navigate to the Picotron folder
2. Press Cmd + Up (to go up a folder)
3. Right click the Picotron folder
4. Select 'Make alias' from the context menu
5. Drag this alias/shortcut to your Desktop/Documents/wherever

• Follow the same steps to create a shortcut to the Library folder, just navigate up a folder one more time.
