Where files are stored on your hard disk
The following table shows the files and folders you can install, and the preferred location for them
on your hard disk. If you install onto the current system disk, the FileMaker Pro Installer places
all the files you need in their preferred locations.
Because FileMaker Pro 5.5 for Mac OS X uses the Mac OS X Application Package feature, some
FileMaker Pro files and folders that were previously visible to you are now stored in the FileMaker
Pro 5.5 package. This means that the application folder with the application and all auxiliary files
appears as a single icon, which can be started as if it is the actual application.
