I was looking at my Preferences folder this morning, when I noticed
some preference files that weren't supposed to be there. I know
they shouldn't be there because the applications in question are
mine. They are all bundled applications, and I didn't write any
code for a preference .plist file in them. I'm curious as to how
they got there. Anyone know?
For example, one of the files is Convert Audio.plist. Convert Audio
uses iTunes to convert audio files. The .plist file is ...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>AppleNavServices:ChooseFolder:0:HomeDirectoryPath</key>
<string>file://~/Desktop/</string>
<key>AppleNavServices:ChooseFolder:0:Path</key> ...
Just because you didn't write out any preferences doesn't mean system
components aren't allowed to. What you're looking at are the
settings for the last location, both window-wise and file-system-
wise, of the standard "Open" sheet. Your script must have called
"choose folder" at some point.
