I need help  
I exported the application’s list of tags to json and manipulated the json.  
I validated the new json with the tags in alphabetical order.  
I imported the tags after having deleted all the groups in the application.  
Now the tags section shows a white screen.  
Maybe I should reset the application  
I am on mac 0S 12.6  
Where can I find the application preference files to reset it?

Hi, and sorry for my late response, you post was marked for some reason as spam.  
What happens when you try to add tag groups and tags manually in the tag manager ?  
You can always reset your app to the initial settings in the last tab of the settings dialog, but be careful since this will remove also your locations, bookmarks, search queries and so on…
