Exporter/importer les paramètres utilisateur

Bonjour

J'utilise la même version de InDesign (20.1) sur Windows 11 et sur macOS Ventura, et je voudrais importer les paramètres utilisateur de InDesign/Windows dans InDesign/Mac.

Mais à chaque fois InDesign pour Mac me dit que ce n'est pas possible : "Plateforme incompatible détectée".

Ai-je raté quelque chose ou bien n'est-ce vraiment pas possible ?

J'ai remarqué que le nom du fichier contenant les paramètres n'a pas d'extension et apparaît sur le Mac comme un fichier "exec" sur fond noir, serait-ce la cause ?

Merci

Official answer from the Adobe team:

Is cross-platform import of user settings (Windows to macOS) officially supported? → Unfortunately, no.
Is there a workaround to transfer workspace, shortcuts, and preferences? → Currently, there isn’t an official method.
Are there any plans to enable cross-platform settings import in future updates? → At this time, there are no plans for this feature.

Thanks but sorry, I've just realized that transferring keyboard shortcuts would be pointless.
There's no CMD key on Windows, no ALT-GR on Mac and the CTRL key isn't used in the same way.
Forget it.

That's probably the reason why Adobe won't do it 😉

Thank you, I've managed to transfer the XML file containing the workspace, I'm glad, because that would have been the most painful thing to recreate.
I've also transferred the scripts and the Find-Replace.

Is there also an XML file for keyboard shortcuts?

You mean this?

There are a lot of NULL chars in the middle:

but if you scroll past that - there is more:

up to 2851 line:

So 2792 lines...

I think you should be able to extract this as text - and save as RJRB.indk file?

But you'll have - probably - remove some extra NULL characters:

for safety - you'll have to remove lines 101 to 108.

And fix those:

I can try and extract it for you - but you need to give me half an hour - I need to finish omething else.
