Hi, I’d like to transfer BarCuts’ settings accross two macs (same icloud, same version). As far as I can tell there’s no sync via icloud, nor export settings option, right?
As an alternative to that - I noticed ~/Library/Preferences/co.zottmann.BarCuts.plist and I already keep .plist files in git for Rectangle and iTerm, and it’s noisy but works So would it be safe to share this plist config file across systems?
Copying that file to another machine would work for transferring the initial settings only but sharing/syncing won’t because it contains the permission data for accessing the Shortcuts folder, and that is signed by macOS by device, and therefore not transferrable.
Same goes for the actual meat (i.e., metadata for all the workflows) which is stored in a SQLite database (~/Library/Application Support/BarCuts/). It’s not made for use by more than one macOS at the same time. It references bits and pieces in the Shortcuts DB which differ between machines, even Macs using the same Apple Account.
