Title: Backup PitStop Pro Prefs and Action Lists
Post by: (Pre)PressingMyLuck on April 02, 2024, 10:18:02 AM
We're getting new peecees (YAY!), and I'm getting the first new one, so i'm the test rat. Apparently what we have now won't run Windows11 they have to upgrade us. So I'm looking for how to backup everything from PitStop as easily and painlessly as possible. I know we can export/import action lists and global changes individually or groups of them if they are grouped. Same for global changes. But can't find a way to do it for prefs for the life of me.

Anything I'm missing? Or are the prefs cloud based so I need to just stop worrying and have a beer?

I'm not much help, what prefs are you trying to keep?

How to move PitStop Pro 09 or higher from one system to another? (https://enfocus.my.site.com/customers/s/article/How-to-move-PitStop-Pro-09-or-higher-from-one-system-to-another?language=en_US)

Move your preferences and custom Preflight Profiles, Action Lists, Global Changes, ... to the new computer

This can be done easily by copying the following folders to the new system:

Windows
- C:\ProgramData\Enfocus Prefs Folder (if available)
- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Enfocus Prefs Folder

Mac
- HD: Library: Preferences: Enfocus Prefs Folder (if available)
- HD: Users: <Your user>: Library: Preferences: Enfocus Prefs Folder

I don't see much in there, though. I've got it set to show hidden files, but none of my custom ones, and alot of the canned ones aren't there. I'll try it, but will back up the hard way as well, just in case. Thanks, Joe!

On Mac it should all be there in the application preferences.
Not sure if that's in the global library or the local user one, but you can grab those pref files.

I'm doing this on windows10. I don't think I changed that much from default so I'll just compare to my comrade's prefs when I get it updated. Thanks!
