- | XTension provides " | + | Installing XTension is as easy as copying the application file to your Applications folder. If you run XTension from the Applications folder your database and all user data will be stored in the “XTension Support” folder inside your Documents folder.For legacy purposes XTension will also run happily from any other folder on your machine. If it is run from elsewhere than the Applications folder then the database and other associated files will be stored alongside the app in that same folder. If you ever need to move XTension to a new machine you only need to move the database and the application to the same location on the new machine. |
