Where are preferences stored in OS X/Mac OS?

[faxotherapy]

Hello,

just the need to know. Where are RcloneBrowser preferences stored in OS X/Mac OS? I mean how does it remember my rclone config location?

Thanks for your help.

I cannot check at the moment, but it should be in standard location where macOS applications store preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/rclone-browser or similar. Let me know if this is not the location, then I'll check on real macOS.

There is support for portable mode - if you create RcloneBrowser.ini (same name as executable, but different extension) next to binary executable, then it will load and store settings in this file.

Thanks very much for your time. Location ~/Library/Preferences/ is obviously one area to store app preferences, but I kept deleting the corresponding .plist file for testing purpose, but to my surprise the app was not affected. I'll try the portable mode and get back to you in a bit. Thanks for letting me know this alternative as I'm writing a script for auto-configuration.

I'm trying the portable mode. Not very clear to me. I'm missing bits of information. In Mac OS, shall I put RcloneBrowser.ini right next to the binary Rclone Browser, thus inside folder /Applications/Rclone Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/?

How should RcloneBrowser.ini content look like? Something like rclone_bin=~/bin/rclone and rclone_conf=~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf?

Thank you.

You need to put it into MacOS folder - right next to binary executable. Rclone Browser.app is just a folder, not executable.

You can leave ini file empty, then simply use the regular Preferences dialog to configure the application.

So, in the folder MacOS I created the empty file Rclone Browser.ini, then re-opened the app and did some config. Changes reflected in the .INI file. I can now use it.

Thanks very much for your support. Problem solved.
