Where are the files you save under "user://" path with use_shared_user_dir set to false?

I couldn’t find any documentation about it.
If you uncheck the use_shared_user_dir, where are the files stored? I made a complete search for a file on my home dir but found nothing…

According to the source code I would say files get stored in $HOME/.<NameOfYourGame>

String OS_Unix::get_data_dir() const {

	String an = Globals::get_singleton()->get("application/name");
	if (an!="") {



		if (has_environment("HOME")) {

			bool use_godot = Globals::get_singleton()->get("application/use_shared_user_dir");
			if (use_godot)
				return get_environment("HOME")+"/.godot/app_userdata/"+an;
			else
				return get_environment("HOME")+"/."+an;
		}
	}

	return Globals::get_singleton()->get_resource_path();

Thank you very much.
I am not at the level that I could dare to look at the source and understand things, at least that was what I thought until I looked at your answer. The code looks really simple and I indeed found it at home, but hidden, thanks to the dot at the start of the name. Not even on the search system I was able to find.

All in all I learned what I wanted and also something even more valuable that is to have a look at the source with no fear of c++.

Thanks!

In Windows, it is in

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\<project>\

You can go to the Roaming folder easily by bringing up Run (Win+R) and type %APPDATA% and enter.

In Godot 3.0 files store to

~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/_application_name_/

Correct answer for Linux.

In Godot 3.2 on macOS it sores user files in:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Godot/app_userdata/_APPLICATION_NAME_
