Filename Extension: n/a
Icon: A switch alongside the old Tinderbox program icon.
You are unlikely to encounter this file type directly unless you are creating packages for deploying example projects.
The normal location for the Preferences file is:
~/Library/Preferences/Tinderbox™ Preferences
Users wanting to share Preferences between several users of the same Mac may elect to copy/move their Preferences file to:
/Library/Preferences/Tinderbox™ Preferences
Tinderbox checks the latter folder for a Preferences file and if found, uses it in preference to any local version.
