Theatre Manager preference file
Preference settings unique to each machine are stored in the standard preferences location defined by Microsoft and Apple. These may vary depending on operating system and version that you are using.
MyUser represents the user you are logged in as. This means that each user of Theatre Manager on a shared machine will have their own preferences:
| Operating system | Generic Location | Typical Path name |
| OS-X | HOME | ~/Library/Preferences/TheatreManager/TheatreManager.plist note: ~ refers to each users preferences, or /User/MyUser/Library/Preferences/TheatreManager |
| Win 2000 and XP | USERPROFILE | C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\TheatreManager\TheatreManager.txt |
| Vista/Win 7 | LOCALAPPDATA | C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\TheatreManager\TheatreManager.txt |
The current contents of a sample preference file is below. These may be changed upon advice from customer support. Only the bold values can be adjusted for some of the italic fields.
