First thing this morning, I reinstalled Lion and ran my window arranging script. Lion's Show/Hide Sidebar and Toolbar items in the View menu now seem to be global, so I removed an unnecessary line of code from the script. It works near satisfactory and caused no problems with the system behavior.

Then I tried my Abracapocus script which does this ...

set value of property list item "AppleShowAllFiles" of property list file filePath to (true)

Instant failure! I have now installed Lion for the third time.

But, is this problem specific to this particular command or plist file
or
is it a more general problem with writing any preference plist file?

Some of my AppleScripted applications create/read/write a plist file in the preferences folder. I hope this problem is not an indication that I can no longer do that.

One of my applications automatically inserts a menu item folder in the Dock by writing to 'com.apple.dock.plist'. I hope this still works.

If anyone encounters any problems or successes with writing preference plist files. please let us know.
