I am having to change computers, but also I want to have the ability to put my patches on other computers for others to perform my works. I have been delaying figuring out how to do this elegantly, but I now need to consider how to do this.

So, in the spirit of that, I have the computer I have been using for six years with a list of paths that I have added which makes all of my patches work. It is a bit of a mess with more folders than I probably should have but nonetheless.

If I am unable, in this case I am not, to transfer my entire Apple account to the other computer, is there an easy way to get all of my preferences to a different computer easily? Do I have to do it manually?

I hope these this question makes sense.

On Linux, the preferences are saved in the home directory as .pdsettings. So, if I were to transfer my Pd preferences to another Linux computer, I would just copy that file to the other computer's home directory. On macOS, I don't know where this file is, but it should be something similar.
