Hi Chris,

Thanks for the tips and evermore handy script. I took your's and Daniels advice and wrote a script for replacing application preferences. It's not entirely clear to me if this will work in the case that a FastScripts database has been created in "~/Library/Caches", nor do I understand what conditions determine when Cache databases are created. I've seen FastScripts running with and without Cache databases. It just so happened that when I wrote this script a database was not present.

(*********************************************************************************

Task: Replace application preferences in Mavericks/Yosemite/El Capitan

use scripting additions

set replacementPrefs to (POSIX path of ((path to desktop folder as text) & "com.red-sweater.FastScripts.plist"))
