You should have a:

~/Library/Application Support/GnuCash/checks/

directory.

(*note, that is the Library directory under your HOME directory, not the root version at '/Library' or the OS version at '/System/Library'. It is not visible by default, you need to view it explicitly using the 'Go to Folder' option, or use Terminal. There are also instructions online for making it permanently visible if you wish.)

The wiki has documentation on the various storage locations used by GnuCash here:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#System-wide

Simply copying over the relevant directory should transfer the custom formats.

tl;dr Where does gnucash keep custom check formats on a Mac?

I am switching computers from one Mac to another. Currently running OSX 12.3.

I installed gnucash on the original computer and created a custom check based 
on Quickbook/Quicken 3 checks per page. I’m using Deluxe checks and there’s a 
few pixel differences.

I moved to the new computer. Downloaded and installed the latest greatest, 
4.11. Copied the gnucash directory from old to new computer. Everything seems 
fine, except I can’t find the custom check format I created.

Somewhere I read those are kept in /gnucash/scm/… I cannot find that directory 
sequence in /gnucash, /Library, /Users/xxx/Library. I opened the app package, 
and didn’t find anything there that looked similar.

What did I miss? Is this documented?

What is the least painful way to get the custom check format from the previous 
gnucash installation to my current installation?
