plist files instead of properties

  • Thread-topic: plist files instead of properties

OK, I'm ready to take the plunge and stop using properties to store data in my
scripts and use plist files instead.


I've been looking for definitive information about how to do this, but I'm not
sure I've found it.


The scripts will be running on Yosemite and El Capitan.


I will want to share some the data in some of the plists between multiple
scripts on the same mac and on different macs. (The plists could be synced or
shared on a network volume; icloud; dropbox, etc.)


I'm thinking I'll save the plist read/write handlers as a library on each of
the macs, store the plist files in the same location on each mac, and then sync
the plist files to the shared folder.


My questions are:


Is it better to use AppleScriptObjC to read and write the plists or just use
System Events?


Is there a standard location where plists are generally stored or is it to each
his own?


Any drawbacks to doing this?
