Clearing history for different applications

  • Subject: Clearing history for different applications
  • From: "Sutapalli Satyanarayana" <email@hidden>

I am using the following script to clear finder "history"

tell application "Finder" to quit

do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder recent-folders {}"

delay 2

tell application "Finder" to activate


Similarly I am using the following list to clear Quick Time player history

tell application "QuickTime Player" to quit

do shell script "defaults write com.apple.quicktimeplayer recent-folders {}"

delay 2

tell application "QuickTime Player" to activate


After running QuickTime Player script, I opened the plist file "com.apple.com.quicktimeplayer.plist" and observed the dictionary item "recent-folders" has 0 entries, that means, the list is cleared. But when I open QuickTime player, it still shows the recent files list. Why?


Similarly how can I clear Safari "history" list using apple script?


Thanks & Regards,

Satyam.
