(Resolved) Location of Keyboard Shortcuts

PostSun Feb 09, 2020 10:56 pm

Hey,

I had to wipe my system due to a crazy bug right when a deadline is closing in - I do have a complete time machine backup but didnt dare to restore from it due to this massive bug.
I spent a lot of energy and effort into customizing my resolve shortcuts - please can anyone tell me, where those are stored by default, so that I can maybe find the file from my backup?

I don't think they exist as a separate file. If you did not export them first you may have to rebuild them.

noooooo way!! I was worried about this possibility, but they have to be stored somewhere, together with all other settings of resolve, no?

Is this the MacOS location? I couldn't find my shortcut layouts this way on Windows.

I think you can put it anywhere you want, you just need to point DaVinci to it when you select "import preset". (I'm just having the problem of finding the one I need to send to my other computer...)

Has this changed in more recent versions? I'm trying to get it back from a timemachine backup in osx, but can't find any folder in 'User/library/Preferences/Blackmagic Design'. Also the file 'keyboard.preset.xml' doesn't exist.

What (preference) files do I need to bring back?
