Error on macOS Sonoma

[Taher Chegini]

I installed mackup on macOS Sonoma using pip. When I run the mackup backup command, I get the following error:

Backing up Library/Group Containers/com.apple.PreviewLegacySignaturesConversion/Library/Preferences ...

It appears that the folder /Users/user/Library/Group Containers/com.apple.PreviewLegacySignaturesConversion does not exist.

Same here. Was setting up a new Mac and could't do mackup restore :((

Having the same issue setting up a new Macbook. First thing that came to mind was that it was something related to which Python version was running on my machine. Tried different versions though and nothing seems to work.

No it's a problem with the Preview app. It will be removed in the next version, thanks.
