Mac - Custom Collections should not be in the .app folder

Having any custom collections be inside the .app folder really rubs against the grain of things in OS X land.

Typically, an application should search in a folder under /Library or ~/Library, or somewhere else.

The issue is that installation is to drag the .app folder to /Applications and overwrite the old .app folder, including any custom collections.

Hopefully this would just be a small OS-specific change on where to look for custom collections.

Or when using the itch.io client, you'll lose your collections on an update. 

Unity (underlying tech of Asset Forge) has built-in IO support for a user controlled application data directory.
