Where is the data file stored on Mac?

Where is the data file located on MacOS?

Thanks :-)

First of all, you can save your log to any file (as xml) and in the preferences make that your default file.

When using the Subsurface cloud, the local storage is not a single file but a whole directory structure that is synched via git. You can find its path by running Subsurface from Terminal with the -v option. In my case:

/Applications/Subsurface.app/Contents/MacOS/Subsurface -v

which gives

Subsurface v5.0.5,

built with libdivecomputer v0.8.0-devel-Subsurface-NG (b6df353752b659654919eec3e98ced02158456d1)

built with Qt Version 5.15.2, runtime from Qt Version 5.15.2

built with libgit2 0.26.0

You can see that I have my default file in Dropbox while the local git storage is in /Users/Helling/Library/Application Support/Subsurface/cloudstorage/c72433d1ae87cbe0

Forgot to mention: The cloud directory appears empty. You need to check out the branch named like your email.
