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>
<dict><br>
<key>urlBookmarkDataForActiveCustomization</key><br>
<data><br>

Is this some "standard XML encoding" that I am missing?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
