Where are USFM files stored?

Question

142 views

I'm using Paratext 10 Studio on macOS 15.5. I've been able to load my registration successfully and have imported the text collection I'm working on. I cannot, however, find where the USFM files are stored on my machine or how to export them. Does anyone know where I can find them, or does Paratext Studio work differently than 9.5 and not actually store USFM files?

Background: My only role on this project is continued development of the Bible app (built using Scripture App Builder). So, I need the USFM files so that I can update SAB. I've been using Paratext 9.5 to do this, but that has required running Windows as a virtual machine on my Mac. If PT10 Studio can export USFM files, then I can remove my virtual machine as I have no other use for it. :-)

At this time, Paratext 10 Studio does continue to use the USFM standard for local storage of project data. You can probably find the data here:

~/.paratext-10-studio/projects/Paratext 9 Projects

(Note: We have not yet implemented any export capabilities.)
