Export save files from Windows to Mac?
I'm sorry if this question has already been asked.
I found a question about transferring game data between an iDevice and a computer, however I still wonder if it's possible to transfer them between computers running different OS.
So I used to play the game on my Windows machine. Now can I play it on my Mac without loosing any choices I've made?
Thank you.

Unfortunately we do not officially support the transferring of files between operating systems. However you may be able to transfer the saves by going into your Documents/Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead folder and grab all of the .save files as well as your prefs.prop file, and copy them over to your installation in Application Support/Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead on your Mac computer. Then launch the game. Please note this is an unofficial workaround that may work for you, but it is not guaranteed. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by this, and hope you are able to enjoy the game!
Sadly that didn't work on my device, but thanks for your quick reply.
P.S.
After deleting the "Telltale Games" folder under Machintosh HD/Library/Application Support, I restarted the game (season 2) and finished chapter 1 in episode 1. I noticed that no "Telltale Games" folder was created under the "Application Support" folder or anywhere. I'm sure my play history for chapter 1 has already been saved. However "My Choices" option on the Main Menu screen is still locked and I haven't asked to type in my e-mail address yet. Does this mean the "save files" are saved in anywhere other than "Application Support" on my device?
Your save files will be inside of Library/Application Support/Telltale Games. If you have a fresh install of the game, the folders will already be there. Theoretically you would just have to place your save files into the Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead folder.
Thank you so much. I just misunderstood that Application Support folder with another one. Following you posts, now I successfully imported the save files!
I apologize for the missed clarity, you're welcome! Enjoy the game!
