Please note you do not need to (nor should you) copy those files since BBEdit will automatically create them as needed. >OK, going to Option-View I was able to find BBEdit in the Application >Support folder for my user (not the main system library, the one for >my user). I still just get the BBEdit default preferences, though. First, for anyone following along at home: Though both OS X 10.7 and 10.8 hide your account's local Library folder (i.e. /Users/USERNAME/Library/) by default, you can access this folder in the Finder by pressing and holding down the Option key, then choosing "Library" in the Go menu. Next, BBEdit's application support folder: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/ is the place to find all your existing BBEdit support items (clippings, scripts, etc.), and you'll want to copy this folder over to the same relative location on your new machine (but _not_ into the global Library folder "/Library/"). Finally, your BBEdit preferences file is stored in the Preferences folder within your user account's local Library folder: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.plist So, to transfer your preferences from your old Mac to the new one, please: 1. Quit BBEdit on both machines. 2. On your old Mac, locate your BBEdit prefs file and copy it over to your new Mac. 3. On your new Mac, move the copied BBEdit prefs file into place, replacing any existing file of the same name. Once you've done that, please launch BBEdit, which should now obey all your previously-configured preferences, and you should be good to go.
