Configuration¶

macprefs can be customised with a TOML file. By default prefs-export checks for the path ~/Library/Application Support/macprefs/config.toml. Example file:

# The extend-* options extend the default values used by macprefs.
[tool.macprefs]
deploy-key = '/path/to/deploy-key'
extend-ignore-domain-prefixes = ['org.gimp.gimp-']
extend-ignore-domains = ['domain1', 'domain2']
extend-ignore-key-regexes = ['QuickLookPreview_[A-Z0-9-\\.]+']
# Only set these if you want to override the default values used by macprefs.
# ignore-domain-prefixes = []
# ignore-domains = []
# ignore-key-regexes = []
# ignore-keys = {}

[tool.macprefs.extend-ignore-keys]
"domain-name" = ["key-to-ignore1", "re:^key-to-ignore"]

In extend-ignore-keys and ignore-keys, a string value to ignore can be prefixed with re: to indicate it is a regular expression.
