Using plistbuddy or defaults to choose a place for saving in User Template

[ramuntcho]

Hi,

I have just encountered a big problem. I have package many applications and for some i build the preferences file plist with PlistBuddy or defaults, saved in User Template. So each user will inherit of some preferences. When i write in the prefs for an application the place for saving files, by example ~/Desktop, we hope that each user will have this target for this application. BUT NOT, when i look in the User Template, i found for this application, not ~/Desktop, but /Users/ramac/Desktop, ramac is the name of the first user. So for the second user, it will always propose /Users/ramac/Desktop.

Any idea to avoid this problem ?

Many thanks in advance

Christian 😉

Hi,

Answer to myself…

The problem doesn’t appear if i write “~/Desktop” and not ~/Desktop. It was so simple !
