Preferential Treatment - Test XML preference files
Authored by: geohar on Jun 24, '04 05:33:43AM

There is a maximum argument list length in the terminal. Try doing ls ~/Library/Preferences/*.plist

If there's tonnes (which I'm guessing there is), you may be able to get arround the limit by doing

cd ~/Library/Preferences/
plutil -s *.plist

That will at least remove the need for the prefix... If that doesn't work (boy you must have tonnes of preference files) then you'll have to split the list in two or more.
