Where do the custom views and filters reside?

Hi all. I've been playing OOTP21 on both my desktop and laptop for a while now. I shared the saved games folder from my desktop and assigned it a drive on the laptop, and was able to play and save games without issue. The other day, though, I had to be away from home for a while, so copied the saved games folder from the desktop to the laptop. When i went to play, all the games and data were there, but no custom views or custom filters came along. Does anyone know where these reside so I don't have to recreate them all from scratch?

They are in the data/tables folder. From the File->Settings menu when you have a game loaded, I believe on the expert or troubleshooting tab there is a link to open the folder with customizable data. From there, you can copy all the contents of the tables folder to get the views and filters.

I keep an alias to this folder on my Mac's dock. Windows folk should be able to pin a shortcut to the start bar so it's all easy to get to when you're not in game. Especially when you're adding ballparks/pix/sounds, it's a handy thing.
