APu (Mac): In what file (and path) are user imported color palettes stored?


Recommended Posts

Hello helpers,

I would like to ask, in what file and path e.g. the user created/loaded color palettes of APu are stored (and may be, other user specific settings).

In order to go back to the original installation status of APu, I deleted *all* files in all (even invisible) folders on the hard disc, whose names contain "serif" or "affinity" or "publisher". Then I downloaded and installed a fresh version of APu, starttet it and got asked for the licence key and so on.

But after start of APu, as I opened the color swatches palette, there was still the list of my user loaded colors list (taken weeks ago from .indd). 😮

That list of user defined colors must be stored in a (intentionally hidden) file and path, which do not contain the letters mentioned above.

Thanks,
Johannes

Thanks for Your expertise!

For all others, who may be interested in that aspect here:
By storing color swatches from within APu as "System palette" the file is stored at ~/Library/Colors/ (i.e. "outside" of APu) for all applications who refer to that directory.
