Strange ".userchain" folder

Why does SampleTank create a .userchain folder on the desktop? It should follow standard conventions and use system directories set aside for app settings and configuration files, not clutter the desktop. Please fix this. I'm on latest MacOS, if it makes a difference.

It does not here and I have not seen reports of this. Please open a ticket with IK Support if you feel this is something SampleTank-related and they will work with you to figure it out. Thanks.

Will do—thanks. I found reports elsewhere online liking that folder to SampleTank and confirmed it by deleting it, then relaunching SampleTank; the folder reappeared on my desktop.

Strange I still couldn't recreate this on my Mac (latest macOS as well) even after removing and reinstalling SampleTank 4. Hopefully IK Support can figure it out and see what might be triggering this.
