Custom filter save path question

I created a custom filter and I’m wondering where I should save it.

I searched the forum and found that I should put the “CustomFilter.plist” file in the <Application Support folder (~/Library/Application Support/Glyphs 3)>, but I can’t seem to find that folder in my Application Support directory.

Is there a way to resolve this?

Easiest is from Glyphs, go to Scripts > Open Scripts Folder. Then add your CustomFilterYOURNAME.plist to the Filters directory.

Note that you need to give your filter a name in all caps, after CustomFilter.plist, for it to show up as a separate filter in the Glyphs sidebar.

Are you sure about the all caps?

No, after I wrote it I wondered the same. I didn’t try what happens if you mix cases, I just heard you do it like this once and haven’t touched the filters since.

You probably are looking in the wrong Library folder. It should be in your Users/username/Library/Application Support, not the main Library.
