Settings & keep-time · Advanced, self-backup and Demo Mode
Can I edit Storage Studio's settings file by hand?
Short answer: Yes, though it's optional — Settings → Advanced has Reveal config file in Finder and Open in default editor. Changes are picked up in about 30 seconds; edit carefully.
You can, but you don't need to — everything is available in the app. If you prefer, Settings → Advanced has Reveal config file in Finder and Open in default editor. Storage Studio re-reads the file about every 30 seconds, so changes take effect almost immediately.
Be careful with hand edits: a mistyped value can change what gets moved or cleaned. Your daily self-backup lets you roll back if something goes wrong.
