Archives & DiskImages prefpanes disappear
Authored by: WardClark on Apr 20, '08 10:35:51AM

I added Archives.prefPane to System Preferences a week ago and adjusted a couple of options.

When I noticed a short while ago that one of my preferences was being ignored, I launched System Preferences to verify my settings. "Archives" was no longer in the Other segment. But Achives.prefPane was still in my ~/Library/PreferencePanes folder.

Google quickly led me to this thread. I deleted Archives.prefPane from my PreferencePanes folder and attempted to reinstall Archives.prefPane -- System Preferences crashed. Deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.archiveutility.plist enabled the reinstallation of Archives.prefPane. I also installed DiskImages.prefPane (mentioned earlier in this thread). All appeared to be well, but ...

After restarting Mac OS X 10.5.2 (for an unrelated reason), I discovered the System Preferences Other segment no longer includes Archives or DiskImages. The rest of my Other prefpanes are fine.

Hmmm.
