Hi, I'm trying to programmatically change the configured screen saver.
If I do
$ defaults -currentHost read com.apple.screensaver
{
CleanExit = YES;
PrefsVersion = 100;
idleTime = 600;
moduleDict = {
moduleName = XXXX;
path = "/Users/juanjo/Library/Screen Savers/XXXX.saver";
type = 0;
};
showClock = 0;
}
I can see that info or even update it using the write parameter.
This settings are not accesibles via NSUserDefaults but they are via CF.
I was able to do this by code
var moduleDict = CFPreferencesCopyAppValue("moduleDict",
"com.apple.screensaver") as CFDictionary
but when I try to get one value from that "dict" the program crash in this
line:
var saverName = CFDictionaryGetValue(moduleDict, "moduleName")
saying EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=EXC_I386_GPFLT).
So, do you know how can I read this values and write back?
Thanks!
