Lost furniture and textures after updating to paid version (Mac)

Post by beans_etc »

I've been running one of the free SourceForge version 6 installs of Sweet Home 3D on my Mac for a long time and finally upgraded to the paid version from the Mac App Store this evening; however, it looks like the new install sadly didn't transfer any of the extra furniture and textures that I'd collected over the past few years. . .

I searched the forum to see if there was a way to get it back and came across a couple of threads, but they're either out of date or don't relate to Mac:
Where are settings (textures, 3D models, etc.) saved on the Mac?

(This path doesn't exist on my Mac. I did a hard drive search even for "eTeks" and nothing at all came up. . .)
Lost Imported Furniture after installing Paid For version

(This answer is only for the Windows versions.)

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to retrieve all of my former furniture/textures on a Mac running OS X High Sierra? What is the updated path to where all of the Sweet Home 3D files are stored on a Mac?

I'm not sure that the search engine looks for files in half private folders like the ones in Library folder. That's the reason why I proposed to use Go > Go To Folder menu item in my answer to the thread Where are settings (textures, 3D models, etc.) saved on the Mac?
So, open a new window in the Finder, select Go > Go To Folder menu item (cmd + Shift + G shortcut) and enter the folder ~/Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D (with the ~ leading character and the spaces in Application Support and Sweet Home 3D).
Open another window in the Finder, select Go > Go To Folder menu item and this time, enter the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D/Data/Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D.
Finally, copy / paste the files found in the folder ~/Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D into the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D/Data/Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D.
