Since this has come up...
Why does the following Applescript, if run repeatedly, keep adding
occurrences of TextEdit to my Dock? My interpretation of manual for defaults
leads me to believe that duplicate entries would not result from such a
command.
The only workaround IÕve found is to search for the entry first, then
not add it if itÕs found. Thanks.
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '<dict><key>tile-data</key><dict><key>file-data</key><dict><key>_CFURLString</key><string>/Applications/TextEdit.app</string><key>_CFURLStringType</key><integer>0</integer></dict></dict></dict>'"
tell application "Dock" to quit
