I am running Panther and a copy of the .plist is at the bottom of this
message. If I run:
set vSystemValue to |System Sleep Timer| of |AC Power| of vPlist
instead of
set vSystemValue to |System Sleep Timer| of |vEnergyProfile| of vPlist
or
set vSystemValue to |System Sleep Timer| of vEnergyProfile of vPlist
it works fine. But I get the name of the Energy Profile from a popup
list I have constructed, so the user can pick the profile they are
using and I need to use a variable.
The error produced looks like this:
Can't get |vEnergyProfile| of {|AC Power|:{|Wake On LAN|:1.0, |Dynamic
Power Step|:0, |Display Sleep Timer|:126.0, |Reduce Processor Speed|:0,
|Automatic Restart On Power Loss|:0, |Disk Sleep Timer|:10.0, |System
Sleep Timer|:180.0, |Wake On AC Change|:0, |Wake On Clamshell
Open|:1.0, |Wake On Modem Ring|:1.0}, |Battery Power|:{|Dynamic Power
Step|:1.0, |Display Sleep Timer|:20.0, |Reduce Processor Speed|:0,
|Automatic Restart On Power Loss|:0, |Disk Sleep Timer|:5.0, |System
Sleep Timer|:20.0, |Wake On AC Change|:0, |Wake On Clamshell Open|:1.0,
|Wake On Modem Ring|:0}}.
Thanks,

I am using the List & Record Tools and Property Tools from Late Night
software to read the PowerManagement plist file and get the value of
"System Sleep Timer" for the "AC Power" profile. I have it almost
working but it seems that I am unable to use the vEnergyProfile
variable in the last line of code in this example. If I replace the
variable name with the actual string, everything works fine. Does
anyone have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong, or how I can
work
around this?
set vEnergyProfile to "AC Power"
set vPlistFile to (path to startup disk as string) &
"Library:Preferences:SystemConfiguration:
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist"
set vPlist to read property list file (vPlistFile)
set vSystemValue to |System Sleep Timer| of |vEnergyProfile| of vPlist
Please tell us what values you get. I don't even have any System Sleep
Timer or "AC Profile" in my PowerManagement plist, so I am unable to
test this.
(My PM plist is also loose in the prefs folder, not in a subfolder;
I'm on Jaguar.)
