Is there a way to change the demos and carts folder location? I would prefer it in my home folder. It's much easier to access the users home folder than the support folder.

Something like this...
"/Users/jbaker/PICO-8/Carts/"
"/Users/jbaker/PICO-8/Demos/"
"/Users/jbaker/PICO-8/HTML/" <--For exported html projects.

That's two clicks compared to the current five, in order to get to that folder.

I'm new to PICO-8, so if I've missed something about this, I apologize. ;)

Just wanted to add that CDing to the "Demos" and "Carts" folders at the command prompt in PICO-8 would still be easy. Plus accessing the "HTML" and "Carts" folder for uploading or sharing would be simple too!

Don't forget about the "folder" command in pico-8, which opens up the carts folder in Finder. You could also just make an alias to the pico-8 folder. https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19065?locale=en_US

Just create a symlink. Not totally familiar with how the pico-8 directory structure works for the Mac version, but with Linux I open a terminal, navigate to my home directory and run:

ln -s .lexaloffe/pico-8/carts/ pico8_carts

(The same command works on Mac)

And now you have a directory called "pico8_carts" in your home directory that links to the contents of the real carts directory. If you delete it from your home directory it won't affect the real carts directory; it's just a link. But while it's there you can treat it like that's actually where it is in your file system.

There's a direct solution to changing the cart directory, no symlink required. Open ~/Library/Application Support/pico-8/config.txt in a text editor, and look for "root_path". The "Library" is hidden in Finder by default, but you can use Finder's Go > Go to Folder... menu option to get there.

Be sure that Pico-8 is not running when you edit config.txt. Pico-8 writes this file based on its in-memory settings when it quits, so it'll undo changes made while it is running.

Thanks for all the feedback!

@dddaaannn, Thanks man, that works great! :D

I also noticed an FPS setting but the text is too small to read on OS X. Not sure what it's like on Windows or Linux?

It's difficult to read, small and dark, but I can (barely) make out what it says.
