Restoring settings after uninstall Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
So after some moving around of my home directory (switching computer setups, HDD to SSD/HDD etc) my omnifocus became unusable. Gave the error unable to write lock file, and deleting the lock file in both application support and library pref. didn't work either, so I was forced to uninstall the app - which cleared out all the data including in ~/library.

I didn't realize the backups omni keeps is only the information in the database, not the setting, which is kinda useless if your syncing, I could have just pulled the data off the synced network copy....anyhoo, is there a way to restore settings (such as saved perspectives, scripts, and colors/fonts/etc)?

If not, where are these setting saved? Before I deleted all the plists and com. files, I copied everything into a folder just in case, so I could replace the newly created files if necessary to go back. Worst case I have a time machine backup, but since i've made a lot of changes in my system since this morning, I would rather NOT use this option. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
