Minecraft launcher can't find Minecraft folder, but upon launching the app again it works
I changed the default Minecraft directory by adding a key and a string to the info.plist file of Minecraft.app.
Works fine, no new issues have occurred ever since, except this one:
It constantly check for BOTH directories, instead of the one I set as default. I know this, because every other time I launch the app, it takes slightly longer to open than usual, and my saved Username and Password do not get inserted. When I look back to the old directory, which is the /Users/*/Library/Application Support folder, there is a blank minecraft folder. If I delete it and launch the app again, it goes for the directory I set. When I quit playing and start the launcher again, it does the same thing: create a black directory in the default location.
I will provide the strings I added to Minecraft.app below:
(The first 2 lines should be disregarded, they are just for reference as to where the new strings are in the document. I will denote the new lines with a # symbol.)
<key>sun.java2d.pmoffscreen</key>
<string>false</string>
#<key>user.home</key>
#<string>/Users/Redacted/Desktop/Redacted's Stuff/Applications/Minecraft/Saves-Current</string>
Environment
Disregard Java version, not important here
OS X, only OS X, and any version of OS X greater than 10.4.11

I don't know if this counts as a mod, as this is the launcher, not Minecraft.jar, nor do I know if I am reporting this bug in the right place. But, I will provide the strings I added to Minecraft.app below:

I think they mean, Minecraft.jar
Info.plist contains info regarding how the app should launch, including how much RAM to allow Minecraft to use. So technically, this isn't modding Minecraft, it's changing defined settings for the launcher to use.
I don't think it makes much sense anymore to report bugs about the old launcher with a brand new launcher comming out with 1.6.
True, but this might not be fixed with the new launcher.
It's a brand new launcher with potentially new bugs, if the issue persists report it then.
