Where is the Plist for GP5 located on a Mac?
Normally users do not need to interact with Plist files on a Macintosh computer.
However, there may be occasions when the GP5 support staff may need a copy of the GP5 Plist in order to troubleshoot technical issues with the program.

The Plist for the GP5 program can be found at: <Hard drive>/Users/<current user>/Library/Preferences/com.gatherworks.OmniView.plist
The detailed steps to navigate to the folder location are shown below.

  1. Double-click on the hard drive icon on the desktop.
