Moving macros to a new computer

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows

Hi!
Windows 10
Audacity 2.3.2

I just god a new computer right after my last one bit the dust. Luckily, I had copied almost all of my hard drive to a backup including program files, documents, and Windows (old Windows 98 habit).

I had created a few macros on my last computer Audacity 2.3.2 (the same as I just installed on the new computer). But I can’t find the macros to put add them to the new computer.

Does anyone know where the macros are stored? Is there a way to import them or something?

Thanks!

Macros are just plain text files. By default they are in the hidden folder:
*C:\Users<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\audacity\Macros*

Thanks for the quick response.

I found most of my macros there! And I now realize that’s in the manual; so thanks for helping out anyway.

But not all of my macros were listed in that location. The newest macros that I created about a month ago aren’t listed in that location. Did 2.3.2 change that location for the macros?

I’ll keep sniffing around. And thanks again for your help.

No.
Perhaps you were logged in as a different user (?)
