Description

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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a shell script (e.g., EnableSteamSync.sh) that mimics the Windows batch file behavior: check if 'saves' folder exists, if not, create a symbolic link from 'saves' to 'mysav'. Update documentation to mention OS specific scripts.
