Hi, this is me Perri…

have you ever wondered where the activity snippets go, when placed into Merlin’s Library? No? Not really? Well, I did yesterday. I had noticed an inconsistency in the items listed in my Library in comparison to these of my colleagues. Some of the activities I had saved there, where outdated. To solve this I simply removed the outdated items from the Library and asked my colleagues for the right files. As soon as I received the files I have inserted them into my Library by  drag & drop. Fine, but where did my colleagues knew, where to find the files I needed?

Curious as I am, I have asked them so now I know. Next time I need the original files of my activity snippets or documents I have dropped in Merlin’s Library, I am going to check the following path:

~/Library/Application Support/Merlin/Library/

UPDATE: This information or the location of other special paths can be found in Merlin help and also here.
