Well, I first tried this one from the command line:
$ defaults read com.apple.quicktimeplayer CapturePreferenceDefaultSaveToLocation
~/Desktop
Indeed, as I never touched the setting, this is just the default behavior: save the sequences on the desktop.
Moreover, it seems that QTP 7 understands the "~" symbol; nice. :-)
I thus created a folder named "qt" on the desktop, and executed:
$ defaults write com.apple.quicktimeplayer CapturePreferenceDefaultSaveToLocation '~/Desktop/qt'
Launching QTP 7 and looking at its preferences, folder "qt" was selected; recording a small sequence indeed created a file into that folder.
One limitation for the defaults command is that the target application (here, QTP 7) should not be running: this may depend on the application's behavior, but the general rule is that it won't notice the change and overwrite it when quitting, or even while running.
Do you have met another limitation for your needs?
Axel
