Hi!

 

I want to make a backup gopy of my WORKSPACE and SHORTCUTS and I don't know how to do it or the directories thay are located in my Mac so as to make a copy of them and keep them in a backup folder.

 

I also would like to know where is the CACHE folder as I need to select it again in the PREFERENCES panel.

 

Best regards,

Yuri

    The Settings export will have all the stuff you personalized. You can check what's inside. Just add the extension .zip to it and then unpack. Then you can see what's inside.

     

    To load the Settings file in a different installation, use Edit > My settings > Import
