Thanks but,
under 10.5.6 as well as under 10.4.11 it logically returns:
The domain/default pair of (com.apple.TextEdit, RichText) does
not exist.
because it is trying to read a parameter in com.Apple.TextEdit.plist
but as I wrote, this parameter is NOT stored in this file.
When the key does not exist then the format is RichText.
This is a common behavior in Mac OS X because some preferences
calls in CoreFoundation and Cocoa will return NULL if a key/value
pair doesn't exist (instead of an error) and the developer will
take that to mean "use the built-in default behavior".
OK
the entry is created only if we change the default setting.
I assumed that if we move back to the default setting the entry
remains available with the value 1 but in fact is is deleted.
Checking that, I took care that if we change the setting, the plist
is not updated until we quit the app.
So I can't rely on this setiing to check if a newly created document
is a Rtf file.
I will go back to a test upon the menu item #4
with this code
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
make new document
set TEname to get name of document 1
tell application "System Events" to tell application process
"TextEdit" to tell menu bar 1 to tell menu bar item 5 to tell menu 1
if name of menu item 4 contains "Rtf" then click menu item 4
end tell -- System Events
end tell -- TextEdit
The drawback is that I don't know if it's really spelled "Rtf" in
every languages .
