CrossOver Support - Community Forums

NOTE: There was another post about this topic that I wanted to reply to, but when I try to reply the website says its locked, so I'm going to reply here.

I figured out how to add items to the Favorites folder in the file explorer. Basically, you just need to add a symlink to same folder that would be the user's Favorites folder on an actual Windows system. However what that looks like on a Mac/CrossOver setup is not obvious to everyone.

On my system, the location of this folder is here:

/Users/{USER_NAME}/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/{BOTTLE_NAME}/drive_c/users/crossover/Favorites

where:

• {USER_NAME} is the name of the Mac OS user, and
• {BOTTLE_NAME} is the bottle where your Windows app runs (you have a Favorites folder for every bottle you create)

You can then add things to this folder using a command line the following:

ln -s ~/Documents/MyResumes "/Users/{USER_NAME}/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/{BOTTLE_NAME}/drive_c/users/crossover/Favorites/MyResumes"

Things to note:

• This was tested with Crossover 23.7.1
• Application Support has a space in it, so this will need to be escaped on the command line
• The Windows user, and thus the user folder is just called crossover regardless of what your Mac user name is (at least on my system, I assume this is probably the same on other systems)
