1- Do I recall a discussion about bringing over my GREP settings from CS5 to CS6? Sure would like to find them somewhere on my computer and import them. 

2- Do I recall that there was a script that maintains a log of time spent in a file for revisions etc?

My google is falling me today on these. 

Thanks, 
Carol

I remember there was an earlier one about from CS4 to CS5 or 5.5, I think.
There was something from me related to this three years ago:

So assuming the XML format is the same, you just need to copy the files over. It now hits me as a little strange that I have these here in the user library rather than in Presets in the application folder, given my preference for systemwide rather than personal application things, but since there's only one user on the machine it doesn't make any practical difference.


HTH,

VERY FINE!

Thank you.

And on Mac Mountain Lion, one must hold the option key to see the User Library.

I'm testing it now. They are there!
