I have Zebra and Diva on a Windows computer, both plugins use favorite.db files to store user's favorites information. Yesterday I switched to Mac, I realized there is no such file in the preset folder like in it is Windows. Is there a way to copy my favorites from Windows to Mac?

The favorites.db is just an ordinary text file with a line each for the path to each favourite preset. Just copy it from your WIn machine to the preset location of your Mac.
In case of doubt, right-click "local" in the preset browser to open the root preset directory, but close the UI (maybe the host software) before you put it there.

I found directly copying windows version of favorites.db.text to Mac doesn't work, then I figured out why and it's kinda funny.
Mac's and Win's favorites.db.txt actually have a small difference: Mac version uses slash "/" and Win version uses backslash "\". So I had to find and replace all the backslash in the text file lol.
