Research direction

Look at the existing EnableSteamSync.bat file to understand its logic for checking if the 'saves' folder exists. Create a shell script (likely named EnableSteamSync.sh) that uses ln -s mysav saves with similar checks. Update the documentation to mention OS-specific differences, noting that the .bat file is Windows-only and the .sh script is for Linux/Mac. Test by running the script in a Linux/Mac environment to ensure it creates the symlink correctly.

Description

enhancement help wanted

On the Steam forums, a Mac user asked how to run the EnableSteamSync.bat script.

Currently, the only way to enable steam sync on mac or linux is to manually create a linked folder (make a link with ln which points saves to the mysav folder).

I think making a shell script which calls ln -s mysav saves (with added checks if the 'saves' folder already exists, as in the current EnableSteamSync batch file) would be enough on linux/mac to get this to work.

The documentation should also be updated to state the OS specific differences. Currently it doesn't say that the EnableSteamSync.bat is windows specific.
