Transferring subscriptions, etc. to a new Mac/new User? #505

Closed timwux closed 1 year ago

<Obligatory apologies in advance if I'm a dolt and this function is right in front of me.>

Is transferring subscriptions—and maybe even the transfer queue—between Users on a Mac (or to a new Mac) possible? The only Library item that I could find that was recently updated was the HTTPStorages folder, so no go there.

I've read through all the support topics before reaching out, so as to not waste anyone's time.

Thanks for continuing to release such high quality work.

Thanks for the nice compliment!

All of that (queue, subscriptions etc) is stored in the preferences file. (So the former user’s ~/Library/Preferences/com.ctivo.ctivo.plist )

Of course! Your software is wonderful and makes a slowly decaying product still relevant to us.

I copied the <500KB file from the original user to the new and relaunched the CTiVo 3.5.2 (1139) and was presented with a mirror of everything I needed.

Thanks for the quick (and easy) fix!

Stay safe, Tim
