Where are Window Sets/Key Commands stored in DP8?

Post by MIDI Life Crisis »

Anyone know? Thanks. Lost both after resetting prefs and the TimeMachine backup of both he plists and the app itself were no help. I could reset all them but that would take a bit of doing.

Thanks.

Command Bindings and Window Sets are in this folder:

/Users/Home/Library/Preferences/com.motu.DigitalPerformer

Thanks. I thought I looked there but maybe not. Reconstruction can be a PITA.

There may be a folder in the Preferences Folder simply called Digital Performer. That contains a Command Bindings file, but it's not the current one.

I've made that mistake more than once. The current Digital Performer preferences are in the folder pathway that Bays stated above (com.motu.DigitalPerformer). Apparently in 2012, MOTU started using a different preference folder for DP, and I guess they had no way of removing the old one. Not sure if it serves a purpose anymore, but I left it "just in case."

Weird. That's not getting backed up. I'll have to check my TimeMachine settings.

If I name my own set to "Command Bindings" and place it in the com.motu.DigitalPerformer folder, will it then always be loaded into new projects?

Maybe, maybe not. You'd have to test that. I think it depends on the exact name. I keep a set of preferences stored in an archive of such things, along with other archives of installers, authentications, configuration files for Audio/MIDI Setup and other utilities, and so forth.
