After nearly 40 years of using Microsoft OS’s as well as a few years of playing
with various flavors of Linux, I recently purchased a MacBook. Don’t ask why;
it’s a painful story.
I am running macOS Sonoma 14.7.2.
I installed LO 24.8 from the LibreOffice website and not from the Apple Store.
I am now trying to use Finder (Mac’s file explorer) to find my user profile and
templates as I would like to copy some of my custom templates from my Windows
computer over to the MacBook.
According to LO’s preferences (options) under “paths,” my templates are stored
in:
Users/(UserName)/Library/Application Support/LibreOffice/4/user/template
However, when I go into Users/(UserName)/ there is no subfolder called
“Library.”
Hi Virgil,
I had exactly the same history and experience when I decided to get a portable
after working exclusively on desktops (linux and Windows) for over ten years
since I gave up on an old HP portable. For reasons connected with the family, I
decided to go on the dark side and I bought a MacBook a year ago. I've just
upgraded from Sonoma to Sequoia with no apparent ill effects, so far.
Fortunately, my grand-daughter was able to tell me how to get to the personal
/library directory - in the ways other replies have already stated in this
thread. It seems it is hidden by default for the protection of users. I've been
hit by several such differences, but mainly they're just differences and you
get used to them. Some are a PITA though. All in all, I'm pleased with how
portables have progressed since I gave up on them - they're lighter and the
batteries are greatly improved but I don't think my next machine will be an
Apple.
Philip
