Please can someone point me in the right direction.
I’ve written a script that automates a process in InDesign. When executed the script asks the user to enter certain processing parameters into multiple fields in a dialog box. The fields in question have default values.
If the user changes the default parameters I’d like to save those to a file in the script bundle so they go with the app if transferred to a different mac.
I’ve thought of one or two ways to do this however before I start I though i’d ask what is the safest way to do this is?
-- preferences script object
script indesignUserPreferences
property userBooleanPreference : false
property userStringPreference : ""
end script
-- load preferences
set preferencesPath to (path to me as text) & "Contents:Resources:indesignUserPreferences.scpt"
try -- for first run
set indesignUserPreferences to load script file preferencesPath
end try
set theBoolean to indesignUserPreferences's userBooleanPreference
set theString to indesignUserPreferences's userStringPreference
-- store preferences
set indesignUserPreferences's userBooleanPreference to true
set indesignUserPreferences's userStringPreference to "newString"
store script indesignUserPreferences in file preferencesPath
