Transfer OS X Dashboard Widgets Between Computers
Can anyone tell me an easy way to transfer my dashboard widgets from one OS X computer to another? If there was a way to keep their positioning/settings too that would be great.
Solution 1:
Widgets are saved at /Library/Widgets/
and /Users/[user]/Library/Widgets/
If you copy /Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist
that will copy your Dashboard configuration.
Each widget will have it's own configuration file in /Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/
, for example widget-com.apple.widget.weather.plist
Solution 2:
macOS does not have the /Users/[user]/Library/Widgets/
folder on a fresh install. Simply create the Widgets
folder and place your widget file in it. Your widget will appear in the Dashboard.
