# File Locations

> Complete reference of Akron file paths for saves, recordings, captures, proofs, and mod data.

All paths are relative to `Everest.PathGame` (the active Celeste/Everest installation directory). The exact root varies across Steam, Flatpak, Wine, portable installs, and custom prefixes.

## User Data

| Path                        | Contents                                                                                                               |

| `Saves/AkronRecordings`     | Video recordings and clips. Akron writes here by default; the output folder is configurable via the recorder settings. |

| `Saves/AkronNative`         | Extracted native runtime libraries, organized by runtime identifier.                                                   |

For a Flatpak-based Steam install, the typical base path is:

```
~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Celeste
```

## Screenshot Tool Exports

The screenshot scanner writes images to an export tree under `Everest.PathGame`. The default root folder is `AkronScreenshotTool_Exports` and is configurable via the screenshot tool settings.

The directory layout is:

```
{ExportRoot}/{chapter SID}/{side letter}/{room name}/{filename}.{png|jpg}
```

Each captured room also gets a `room.json` file with room position, room size, camera size, and viewport dimensions. Tile filenames use ScreenshotTool-style center-relative camera offsets, such as `0000,dx=160,dy=90.png`.

Room Capture writes a merged room collage as `merged.png` or `merged.jpg` in the captured room directory when the scan tiles can be merged safely. Map Capture writes the same per-room output and also writes a world-space chapter collage as `map.png` or `map.jpg` at the side-level export directory when at least one scanned room can be merged. If **Only marked rooms** is enabled, Map Capture writes separate room images under `marked-rooms/<timestamp>/` instead of writing a side-level map collage. If **Downscale map** is enabled, the map collage may be scaled down to avoid unsafe image dimensions.

## Mod Data

| Path               | Contents                                               |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `Source/Resources` | Embedded Akron resources included with the mod source. |

## Streamer Mode

When Streamer Mode is active, Akron-owned UI displays only the filename or final folder name instead of the full local filesystem path.
