Is there something similar to the commonApplicationDataDirectory - Windows “\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data” except that it is possibly the commonApplicationDirectory and would be (on Windows) “(driveLetter):\Program Files”?
I assume for Linux it would return /usr, and I have no idea what it would be for a Mac.
Yes, that’d be a good addition. Thanks for the suggestion. I’d probably call it “globalApplicationsDirectory”.
Alright, since it wasn’t there, I went ahead and created a working fix. I tried continue the same format you used for the rest of the Special enumerators.

juce_win32_Files.cpp:
const File File::getSpecialLocation (const SpecialLocationType type)
{
switch (type)
{
case globalApplicationsDirectory:
return juce_getSpecialFolderPath (CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES);
juce_linux_Files.cpp:const File File::getSpecialLocation (const SpecialLocationType type)
{
switch (type)
{
case globalApplicationsDirectory:
return File (T("/usr"));
juce_mac_Files.cpp:const File File::getSpecialLocation (const SpecialLocationType type)
{
switch (type)
{
case globalApplicationsDirectory:
return File (T("/Applications"));
juce_File.h:enum SpecialLocationType
{
/** The system wide programs folder. On Windows, it is probably the "/Program Files"
directory. On the Mac it's the "/Applications" folder. Linux is "/usr".
*/
globalApplicationsDirectory,
After a quick test, I verified that this works on Windows. I’m unable to test on the Mac, and I don’t really want to boot into my Gentoo install right now.
