You can change where Crossover looks for this directory and have Crossover setup its bottles directory in a new location. Users/(username)/Library/Application Support/Crossover (Games)/Bottles directory.

Change the Bottle Directory in Crossover Macīy default, Crossover Mac and Crossover Games Mac will look for bottles in the
Also, as for CX_BOTTLE_PATH, new bottles will be placed in the first writable directory and existing bottles will not be moved around. Note that this time we've put this setting in the global configuration file so it is accessible by all users. However you can change this by setting the CX_MANAGED_BOTTLE_PATH environment variable, for instance by adding the following lines to /opt/cxoffice/etc/nf:
Similarly, when you publish a bottle it is normally put in /opt/cxoffice/etc. Usually you would do so by using the USER environment variable like so: You should also make sure each user gets his own bottle directory. To do so you would set it in the global configuration file, that is in /opt/cxoffice/etc/nf. If you installed CrossOver globally you may want this setting to have an effect on all users. A simple move command should do the trick: So you need to either keep the default bottle location in the list, or to move your existing bottles manually. So order is important.įurthermore CrossOver will not move existing bottles to the new location. Also note that CrossOver will create new bottles in the first writable directory present in the search path. To not have to set the modified path manually each time you run CrossOver, edit ~/.cxoffice/nf and add the following lines:ĬrossOver will then first look for bottles in /extra/bottles and then in the standard location. By default this variable is set to ~/.cxoffice. You can also control the list of directories where CrossOver looks for bottles by setting the CX_BOTTLE_PATH environment variable. One quick way to move bottles to a non-default location and have CrossOver still find them is to first create a bottle in CrossOver, move the bottle to the new location, and then create a symbolic link in the ~/.cxoffice directory which points to the bottle's new location. Bottles are really useful, because they let you easily backup your software, and move it from machine to machine.
