OS specific files in Bridge 2024 settings folder

On Windows I moved my Bridge settings folder from %appdata%\Adobe\Bridge 2024 to a shared location so I can use the same settings etc. across multiple devices / OSes.

However, on my Mac when I point ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge 2024 to the shared location, it will cause Bridge to crash on opening.

I assume there are some files within the Bridge 2024 settings folder where either a OS specific path is used or OS specific files, and this is causing the crash. I wondered what these were (so I can potentially sort the issue)?

This is a really bad idea and will likely lead to data loss. The two platforms store data differently- Windows uses the registry while Mac uses flat files. Just, don't.

But which files do they store data in differently? That's my question. I would assume most of the XML files are cross compatible.

You need to spend some quality time with diff and figure it out.
