When I checked again, Library/Preferences/*appname*.plist was present, and it was exactly the sameš as the plist I'd just backed up.<br>
<br>
I think I noticed this behaviour under Lion 10.7 - it annoyed me then, but I ignored it for the time being. With Mavericks I feel a bit more committed to OS X, and I want to find out what's going on - could anyone possibly explain please?<br>
<br>
I assume that the app is recovering the preferences from a cache directory or something - where is it, and what purpose does it serve, please?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any advice,<br>
