Went from 10.13 (HS) to 10.14 (Mojavi), custom format gone

[crazyhorse90210]

I upgraded my OS from High Sierra to Mojavi and transferred data using the Migration Assistant during install.
Filebot 4.8.5 works fine and my license is active however my custom format strings are gone. I have copied over the contents of my $HOME/.filebot directory manually and I can't find any ~/Library/Containers/*filebot* directories.

App was downloaded from the web page and licensed on the web, not installed from App Store and I don't seem to have the terminal app installed.

Where can I find and recover my previously stored custom format string?

Thanks.

On macOS, settings are typically stored in *.plist files:

Code: Select all

ls -l ~/Library/Preferences/net.filebot.*

FileBot will also periodically export your preferences to ~/.filebot/preferences.backup.xml as platform-independent xml file, so you might be able to recover from there, especially if you have Time Machine:

Code: Select all

open --reveal ~/.filebot/preferences.backup.xml
