Hello,

I just picked up a new MacBook, and I copied the contents of my old home folder into my new one. It seemed to work ok, but some of the paths in my project files look to contain references to my old home folder, resulting in missing plugins and other odd behavior. I understand these are primarily XML files that can be edited and probably fixed with a find-and-replace for the home folder path. I was just wondering if there was some less hacky way to migrate that will take a little less effort. Should I just wipe the slate clean on my new machine by emptying the projects folder, go back to my old machine to export all of my projects, and import them on the new machine? Is there some other method to migrate?

"Create an archive of this edit..." in the Export menu is the correct way to transfer projects across devices. Plugins shouldn't be affected though as they should be picked up from whatever paths you've set in Waveform itself.
