To simplify upgrading Usine on Macs, I've knocked up a quick Automator workflow app:

http://www.sensomusic.com/forums/upload ... Config.zip

When run, it'll find all the Hollyhock's you've got in /Applications/ and ask you to select the version where you want the configuration to be copied from, then the destination version where it'll be copied to, and finally prompt for confirmation before proceeding.

In case of error, the destination version's configuration is never outright deleted. It's just renamed (to make it easier to know where it came from) and moved to the Trash.

Let me know if you have problems!

Sorry, nay, I don't have Mavericks so can't test it on that. I've tested it on 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and it works there.

It's probable that Apple made Mavericks even more secure/limited wrt moving files around inside app bundles. Maybe that user could try running the automator workflow as administrator? Or open the Console app after (failing to) run it to see if there are any messages that explain why its failing.
