Please pardon my brevity. :-)
Since BBEdit 12.6 and later store their prefs data within the app's sandbox
container by default, you will need to quit the app on your new Mac, and then
either:
a) remove BBEdit's container[1] _before_ moving the copied ~/Library/BBEdit/
into place (which is safe in this case since on a new machine, the container
won't hold anything important), or
b) move the copied prefs data folder into the appropriate position _within_
BBEdit's sandbox container[2].
and here are the corresponding paths:
[1] BBEdit's top-level container is:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.barebones.bbedit/
[2] The location of BBEdit's prefs data folder within its container is:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.barebones.bbedit/Data/Library/BBEdit/
I expect that should do the job but in case you have any trouble, tech support
<[email protected]> is always just an email away. :-)
