defaults delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari deleteKey

works as expected for me...you sure there isn't something else wrong
there?  I've used similar deletes elsewhere, syntactically identical
to that, without issue.

how do I delete a key in a plist file, in a postinstall script?

I have tried:
Code:

#!/bin/sh

defaults delete $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari
myKeyToDelete

the script deletes the entire plist file though, not the key?
I tried this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/defaults delete myKeyToDelete

which generates an error in the installer, and doesn't delete the
key.
and this one:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

MY_UNUSED_KEY="com.apple.Safari myKeyToDelete"
if [  -d "MY_UNUSED_KEY" ]; then
	echo "Removing unused preferences"
	/usr/bin/defaults delete "MY_UNUSED_KEY"
fi

which doesnt generate an error, but also doesnt delete the key?


this shouldnt be that difficult.... _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Installer-dev mailing list (email@hidden) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: @peelman.us
