(KM10) Macros Not Backed Up for Several Weeks

@ewos -

I ran into the same issue. I referred to one of Peter's posts and now my backup, from yesterday, showed up. I'm thinking this may be what @ccstone was referencing.

Here is his post from over two years ago:

@peternlewis

do this:

• Launch Keyboard Maestro
• File ➤ Quit Engine
• Quit Keyboard Maestro
• Move the ~/Library/Application Support/Keyboard Maestro folder to your desktop (make sure it moves, not copies, which it could do if the permissions are incorrect).
• Launch Keyboard Maestro. It will create a new folder, with new permissions. Make a change to the default macros (rename one), quit and relaunch Keyboard Maestro and verify the change has stuck.
• File ➤ Quick Engine
• Quit Keyboard Maestro
• Open the newly created ~/Library/Application Support/Keyboard Maestro folder, trash the contents.
• Copy the contents of the Keyboard Maestro folder on your desktop to the newly created, newly emptied Keyboard Maestro folder.
• Launch Keyboard Maestro. Make a change to the default macros (rename one), quit and relaunch Keyboard Maestro and verify the change has stuck.

Make a backup copy of the original Keyboard Maestro folder (I suggest control click on it and Compress it), to ensure it is safe while you mess around.

I hope this helps.
