Export/Import settings and plugins

Glyphs
1

Hello,
Is it possible to easily copy the plugins and various preferences (user settings, sample strings, but also filters?) from one computer to another?
Desktop > laptop, > new computer, > employee/intern/workshop participants.
Would be a useful feature, I know some other programs have it.

Also scripts maybe?

maybe try getting the content of this folders:

 "/Library/Application Support/Glyphs/"
 "/Library/Application Support/Glyphs/Scripts/"
 "/Library/Application Support/Glyphs/Plugins/"

source:

For sample strings you would need to transfer the preferences file as well. But I suggest to share them in a text file or simply an email.

Cool, that works for me. Thanks!

Where can I find the settings (sample strings, keyboard shortcuts, etc)?

I copied everything from ~/Library/Application Support/Glyphs/. On my mac, there is no such Glyphs directory in the root /Library folder.

I got all the plugins transfered and config file (that contains all the filters), but where is are the keyboard shortcut settings and sample strings located?

Glyphs 3 stores its values in ~/Library/Application Support/Glyphs 3/ and in ~/Library/Preferences/com.GeorgSeifert.Glyphs3.plist
