How to locate MOHO settings folder on MacOS?

[ratscloset]

Moho Settings are in the

Users>(username)>Library>Preferences>Smith Micro>Moho Pro>12 or 13

folder

To view the Library Folder when in the Users>(username) folder, open the Go Menu in Finder and hold down the ALT(Option) key.

Hi Ratscloset, thanks for responding. I hadn't said anything because I wasn't sure where the default location was on a Mac.

@jamesmustaine, I want to add that this is the default location, and Moho doesn't really care where you set the Custom Content folder. If you use go into your Preferences, you can set the folder to a different location if you wish, and Moho will create the contents at the new location. The default location is usually a pretty good one for local-only use, but, just for example, if you wish to share the settings with other computers you own, you could set it to a DropBox folder or to a shared network folder. In some ways, Moho is very flexible like that.

Keep in mind that when you choose a new location for the Custom Content folder, Moho creates a brand new folder structure there, and it does not automatically move or copy the scripts or assets that you may have added previously. You will need to do that yourself.

To quickly open the Custom Content folder, use the Open Custom Content Folder command near the bottom of the File menu. (This works assuming you have a location set in the Preferences folder.)

Now, if you're looking for the 'factory' content files that come with Moho, that stuff is located in the Resources folder where your program was installed. Personally, I would not alter the files here or add anything new to this location. You can think of the Custom Content Folder as a 'layer on top of this folder', and and the Custom Content folder is where you can make your additions and modifications without disrupting the original files in the program's folder. This way, if something isn't working as expected after you changed something, you can just remove what you did to Custom Content folder to set things back, and the original content will be in affect.

Hope this helps.
