Full Version: Need Help migrating Moi from PC to Mac

From: binfordboy

Actually I want to migrate my customized Moi Version from PC to Mac. I located the new Folder for app data under Mac "Library
/Application Support/Moi" and copied all files from the Windows app data. But nothing happened. Do I miss something?

In some of the files are references like:
var menu = "moi://appdata/customui/ScriptsSorted1.menu.htm";

what is the right syntax here under MacOS?
var menu = "moi:~/Library/Application Support/Moi/customui/ScriptsSorted1.menu.htm";
or only
var menu = "~/Library/Application Support/Moi/customui/ScriptsSorted1.menu.htm";
or something else?

Btw: Moi on a MacBookAir is awesome!

You'll need to close and restart MoI after copying the files over. You'll have some stuff in sub folders to copy too like /commands , /customui , and /startup .

It's the same syntax for both Windows and Mac. When it's using moi://appdata that means "look it up in the appdata folder" which on windows will be %AppData%\Moi and on Mac it will be ~/Library/Application Support/Moi .

So you shouldn't need to change these, they're cross platform.

Maybe check that you've got everything copied including sub folders.

Also double check that you've got the right Library folder on the Mac.

You want the one in your user folder: ~/Library (/Users/<your user name>/Library .

There's another one off of the root at /Library , don't use that one.
