I have Racket 5.3.6 installed and have been using it to learn Racket.
Yesterday I installed 5.93 as well, but my preference settings from
5.3.6 didn’t show up in 5.93.
I did some digging in the documentation and found:
http://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/drracket-files.html#%28part._.Preference_.Files%29
"3.4.3 Preference Files
On Mac OS X, preferences are stored in "org.racket-lang.prefs.rktd" in
the user’s preferences folder.”
I’m new enough to the Mac that I don’t know what “user’s preferences
folder” refers to, but was able to use ‘find’ in the shell to locate:
/Users/doug/Library/Preferences/org.racket-lang.prefs.rktd
and my preferences from 5.3.6 are there.
The documentation referenced above also has a note saying:
“The expression (find-system-path 'pref-file) returns the platform- and
user-specific preference file path.”
But I get the error:
Welcome to DrRacket, version 5.93 [3m].
Language: Beginning Student [custom]; memory limit: 128 MB.
Teachpacks: (lib "guess.rkt" "teachpack" "htdp") and (lib "draw.rkt"
"teachpack" "htdp").
> (find-system-path 'pref-file)
find-system-path: this function is not defined
>
How do I get 5.93 to use my 5.3.6 preferences?
