Transferring Settings

MrBill

Andre,

The current user account on my Mac Studio has been having issues that I have been unable to resolve. I have created a new user account that doesn’t have those issues, is there any way to transfer/import the settings from Usenapp on the old user account?

I realize that I could set up everything from scratch, however, if there is any easier way that would be awesome. Even if copying the appropriate folders from the old user account.

If someone has already asked this question I apologize,

Mr. Bill

I’ve not done this before, but what you can try is:

1) Log in under old account
2) Make sure Usenapp is not running.
3) Open Finder
4) In Finder press SHIFT-CMD-G (or in menu Go->Go to Folder)
5) Then in the text field enter the following text (including the tilde ~) and press “Go”

~/Library/Application Support/Usenapp

6) Select all the folders and files in the folder that opens and copy all of them to a temporarily folder that is accessible under your new account.

7) Log in under your new account
8) In case you haven’t done, install Usenapp
8) Make sure Usenapp is not running
9) Open Finder
10) In Finder press SHIFT-CMD-G (or in menu Go->Go to Folder)
11) Then in the text field enter the following text (including the tilde ~) and press “Go”

~/Library/Application Support/Usenapp

12) Now copy all the folders and files from the above temporarily folder to this current folder.
13) Start Usenapp and see what happens.
14) The GUI preferences are not copied using the above steps, but hopefully all others are.

Let me know the results, please.

Andre,

Thanks, that did the trick. I did have to change a few things in the Interface Tab, other than that it works!

Much easier than starting from scratch! If possible a script to do the same would be awesome. :

Thanks again for your awesome program,

Mr. Bill :

Good to hear it works. I hadn’t tested it yet 🙂
