Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Movist?
Copy the container plist with the app closed. Playlists manage internally by name with no file dir. Restoring means putting the plist back before launch.
Why the long Containers path?
Sandboxing nests preferences under the Containers tree. The vendor FAQ names the exact plist. Unsandboxed guesses miss the real file.
