macOS client daemon: Suggested improvement

Submitted by Udo Keller on #1

When installing as a client daemon, VH automatically provides a PLIST file in "/Library/LauchDaemons".

However, the PLIST file puts the config information into "/Users/<name of user doing the installation>/Library/Preferences/". Since VH is installing a global daemon, I suggest to put the config information into the global "/Library/Preferences/", not into the user specific directory.

In addition, maybe VH should put the "KeepAlive" flag into the PLIST.

This has been fixed in 6.0.1 It will store its settings in /Library/Preferences/VirtualHereUniversal/vhui Preferences now when running as a daemon service.

Again, thank you for the quick reaction.
