Where Does Gale Store Mod Profiles?
Gale keeps mod profiles per game under a Tauri data dir on every OS, with cache folded inside since 1.0. Paths are user-changeable.
Last updated
Gale organizes mods per game under a Tauri data directory that varies by OS but never by shape. Profiles nest per title with BepInEx trees inside, launched modded from the UI. Cache merged into the same root with the 1.0 release.
The data dir moves on request through settings, carrying profiles and cache together. Sibling managers keep parallel trees with their own roots, so cross-tool migration maps folders rather than sharing them.
Where Gale stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\com.kesomannen.gale
Tauri data root with per-game profiles and folded-in cache. Changeable in settings. Open profile folders from the File menu rather than guessing children.
~/.local/share/com.kesomannen.gale
Same profile tree under local share for native installs. Flatpak nests under the app var tree instead. Per-game BepInEx folders behave identically.
~/Library/Application Support/com.kesomannen.gale
Mac side of the same Tauri layout with per-game profiles beneath. Data dir relocation works the same through settings on every platform.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Gale mod profiles?
Copy the per-game profile folders under the data dir with Gale closed. Each profile carries its own BepInEx tree launched through the modded button. The in-app profile folder opener jumps straight there.
Can Gale import my r2modman profiles?
They complement each other with different roots. Gale uses its Tauri data dir while r2modman and Thunderstore Manager keep their own profile trees. Migration guides map the per-game folders across all three managers.
Where is the Gale cache folder?
It folded inside the data dir with version 1.0, retiring the separate cache setting. Mods cache alongside profiles now. Change the data dir in settings to relocate everything at once.
