File Naming Tokens

I have lost all the filename tokens that I had created previously in Capture One. It seems the latest update didn't import them. Does anybody know if these are saved in pList file somewhere?

  I was curious if I could migrate my presets from another computer to the new one. So I went hunting for plists...

  I  found it at:
  ‎⁨Macintosh HD ▸ User ▸ username ▸ Library ▸ Preferences⁩ ▸ com.captureone.captureone15.plist

  you would have to use a text/xml editor or special plist editor and please only try it if you are familiar with xml syntax

  the relevant keys to search for are:
  <key>PathTokenNamingPresets</key>
  <key>NamingInspectorUserPresetTokensKey</key>

  For my german naming preset Date-Time_Filename (yyyyMMdd-HHmmss_Filename) this would was:

  <dict>

  <key>name</key>

  <string>datum-zeit_Bildname</string>

  <key>tokens</key>

  <array>

  <dict>

  <key>menuTitle</key>

  <string>yyyy</string>

  <key>name</key>

  <string>Bild Jahr  (yyyy)</string>

  <key>tag</key>

  <integer>52</integer>

  </dict>

  <dict>

  <key>menuTitle</key>

  <string>MM</string>

  <key>name</key>

  <string>Bild Monat (MM)</string>

  <key>tag</key>

  <integer>43</integer>

  </dict>

  <dict>

  <key>menuTitle</key>

  <string>dd</string>

  <key>name</key>

  <string>Bild Tag des Monats (dd)</string>

  <key>tag</key>

  <integer>125</integer>

  </dict>

  <string>-</string>

  <dict>

  <key>menuTitle</key>

  <string>HH</string>

  <key>name</key>

  <string>Bild Zeit  (HH)</string>

  <key>tag</key>

  <integer>144</integer>

  </dict>

  <dict>

  <key>menuTitle</key>

  <string>mm</string>

  <key>name</key>

  <string>Bild Zeit  (mm)</string>

  <key>tag</key>

  <integer>148</integer>

  </dict>

  <dict>

  <key>menuTitle</key>

  <string>ss</string>

  <key>name</key>

  <string>Bild Zeit  (ss)</string>

  <key>tag</key>

  <integer>150</integer>

  </dict>

  <string>_</string>

  <dict>

  <key>name</key>

  <string>Bildname</string>

  <key>tag</key>

  <integer>1</integer>

  </dict>

  </array>

  </dict>

   

  Boy, I sure hope CaptureOne would implement an easy import/export option for these settings and auto migrate these when updating a major version....
