        Hi,<br>
        <br>
        does anyone know how Finale stores its preferences data on MacOS
        in the com.makemusic.finale26.fprf file?<br>
        I need to access Finale's folder settings from the preferences
        dialog for my Perfect Layout installer. <br>
        On Windows it's easily readable in the Finale.ini file, but on
        MacOS each folder name seems to look like this:<br>
        (in ~/Library/Preferences/com.makemusic.finale26.fprf )<br>
        <br>
        <key>275</key><br>
