Default Trying to install Reaper Portible on MAC can't find Reaper.ini

Hello,
Trying to install reaper Portable on a MAC. Some instructions claim to find MACHD/Library/ApplicationSupport/Reaper and the Reaper is not seen (yes I showed hidden files, still no luck).
Any assistance will be appreciated...

Your new ini is in the same folder as Reaper.exe. If you're trying to port your settings to the new install, you're better off using the built-in import/export function in prefs/general.

Create a file called reaper.ini in the same folder as reaper.app.
Starting Reaper should now create a lot of files in the same folder, where reaper.app is located.

That also means: put the reaper.app into a dedicated subfolder for a portable installation(a folder created on desktop perhaps), not the applications-folder.

Kenny Gioia has a video tutorial on this. It will explain things to you.

Good luck
