Autoupgraded to 2025, and it uninstalled 2024. I tried importing settings, my user actions aren't available in 2025 there. I restored 2024 from time machine, and they are in there, but they're just "in the program", tried searching via terminal and didn't find anything.
I can just save them out, but out of principle, I need to know where they are.
I created a simple action.
This is the action saved in the preferences.
This is the file I saved by using "Save Actions..." from the action palette.
Both are the same.
Thanks @silk-m!
Where I went wrong, was looking for actions by name, I forgot they are hexadecimal, and weren't searchable.
To my future self, when I have the same problem next year, this is the path on mac:
/Users/<USER_NAME>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 28 Settings/en_US/Adobe Illustrator Prefs
File: "Adobe Illustrator Prefs"
Extension: None
