Czy jest jakiś sposób na zapisanie preferencji Mac OS X w pliku powłoki?

17

Za każdym razem, gdy ponownie instaluję system Mac OS i / lub kupuję nowy komputer Mac, muszę ręcznie skonfigurować prawie wszystkie opcje myszy, stacji dokującej itp.

Chciałbym wiedzieć, czy Mac OS lub jakieś oprogramowanie może zapewnić sposób na zapisanie wszystkich konfiguracji, które skonfigurowałem z aplikacją Preferencje systemowe, w pliku powłoki, tworząc coś takiego jak https://github.com/mathiasbynens/ Mathias Bynens/ dotfiles / blob / master / .macos

Preferencje systemowe wydają się być przechowywane w różnych miejscach, w zależności od tego, czy dotyczą one użytkownika, czy systemu. Wiele z nich jest przechowywanych w jednym /Library/Preferences/lub $HOME/Library/Preferences/(dla ustawień poszczególnych użytkowników). Ale każde okienko preferencji będzie miało swój własny sposób przechowywania.

Możesz zobaczyć, które preferencje są przechowywane w ten sposób, pisząc:

defaults read <domain>

Gdzie <domain>jest początek nazwy pliku w preferencjach systemowych poszczególnych użytkowników lub pełna ścieżka do .plistpliku. Na przykład:

defaults read com.apple.screensaver
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver

Pierwsza pokaże dostosowanie ustawień wygaszacza dla poszczególnych użytkowników, a druga pokaże ustawienia wygaszacza systemu.

Ustawienia są w dużej mierze uporządkowane według okienka preferencji, choć niekoniecznie tak prosto. Prawdopodobnie będziesz musiał zajrzeć do /Library/Preferencespodfolderów (szczególnie SystemConfiguration), aby je wszystkie znaleźć.

Jedną z opcji byłoby po prostu skopiowanie odpowiednich plików i odłożenie ich z powrotem na nowe instalacje.

Innym sposobem byłby eksport i import w razie potrzeby.

Eksportowanie preferencji systemowych zarządzania energią (oszczędzania energii) do pm.plist:

defaults export /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement pm.plist

Importowanie tych preferencji z pm.plistnowego komputera:

defaults import /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement sysprefs.plist

Możesz nawet edytować różne eksportowane .plistpliki, jeśli istnieją określone preferencje systemowe, które udostępniasz / nie chcesz udostępniać między komputerami. W ten sposób możesz mieć lokalne ustawienia, a importpolecenie ich nie zastąpi, po prostu dodaj te, które ustawiłeś w .plistplikach. Możesz użyć tego defaultspolecenia również do modyfikowania własnych .plistplików (ale upewnij się, że podałeś pełną ścieżkę do pliku, a nie tylko nazwę, albo możesz modyfikować preferencje dla poszczególnych użytkowników).

„com.apple.systempreferences” w rzeczywistości nie zawiera żadnych preferencji dla systemu. Zawiera preferencje aplikacji Preferencje systemowe. Dlatego w tym pliku nie jest przechowywana żadna rzeczywista konfiguracja wykonywana za pomocą Preferencji systemowych.

@TonyWilliams, prawda, naprawisz to ...

Automatyczne tworzenie skryptu w celu wprowadzenia wszystkich wymaganych zmian jest prawie niemożliwe. Administratorzy systemu Mac spędzają wiele godzin w ciemnych barach, pijąc piwo lub bourbon i wymieniając fragmenty tych plików - niechętnie udostępniamy całą tę pracę, chyba że jesteś przygotowany na wybranie karty.

W rzeczywistości najłatwiejszym sposobem na przechwycenie zmian konfiguracji jest użycie migawki.

Weź kopię InstallEase i zrób migawkę swojego nowego komputera Mac. Teraz wykonaj całą konfigurację, którą chcesz, i możesz zrobić kolejną migawkę i zbudować instalator, który zainstaluje zmienione pliki na nowym komputerze Mac.

Oczywiście mogą pojawić się komplikacje podczas stosowania zmian w nowej wersji systemu operacyjnego, ale właśnie dlatego pijemy bourbon.

Czy istnieje przynajmniej jakaś lista z opcjami polecenia „defaults write”?

— Enrico P. Varella

Nie. Polecenie defaults może zapisywać do dowolnego pliku preferencji w systemie, dlatego niemożliwe jest podanie pełnej listy.

— Tony Williams

To sprytny pomysł.

Wygląda na to, że InstallEase nie jest już dostępny

— Sebastian,

Casper ma narzędzie do tworzenia migawek, którego można użyć zamiast InstallEase.

Ostatnim razem, gdy wykonałem czystą reinstalację, właśnie skopiowałem cały ~/Library/Preferences/folder i nie napotkałem z tego powodu żadnych problemów. Ustawienia starych wersji aplikacji i ustawienia specyficzne dla komputerów Mac należy po prostu zignorować. W ~/Library/Preferences/nowej instalacji prawie nie ma plików , a jeśli usuniesz wszystkie pliki ~/Library/Preferences/, pliki preferencji zostaną odtworzone, gdy będą potrzebne.

Pliki preferencji dla aplikacji w trybie piaskownicy są teraz przechowywane ~/Library/Containers/, ale nie wiem, czy skopiowanie go na inny komputer Mac spowodowałoby jakiekolwiek problemy.

Możesz także użyć Asystenta migracji .

Lub jeśli wybierzesz .osxtrasę, możesz różnicować dane wyjściowe defaults read:

Biegać defaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/a
Zmień niektóre ustawienia
Biegać defaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/b;diff /tmp/[ab]

Możesz uruchomić sudo opensnooplub użyć fseventer, aby zobaczyć, jakie pliki są modyfikowane po zmianie preferencji z GUI.

Po wielu godzinach szukania czegoś, co przynajmniej przydałoby się w moim problemie, znalazłem witrynę o nazwie Secrets , która zawiera wiele typowych poleceń Mac OS „domyślnie pisz”.

W każdym razie dziękuję Tony'emu i drfrogsplatless za udzielenie mi wyjaśnień i wskazówek, które były dla mnie pomocne.

Mackup jest tym, czego szukasz. https://github.com/lra/mackup/tree/master/doc

Mackup wygląda jak niesamowite narzędzie, ale nie obsługuje domyślnego zapisu. Wyjaśnia to również lepiej niż podany link: github.com/lra/mackup

Oto częściowo ukończony skrypt Apple, który napisałem w sierpniu 2016 r. Dla mojego komputera Mac, opublikowany tutaj jako „dowód koncepcji” jest trochę mocny, ale można w niego grać:

(* Przed uruchomieniem tego skryptu musisz najpierw przyznać rajstopy Apple Script w Preferencjach systemowych -> Bezpieczeństwo i prywatność -> Dostępność i zezwolić Apple Script na sterowanie komputerem. Możesz zacząć od uruchomienia skryptu, dopóki nie zawiedzie punkt. Następnie zatrzymaj skrypt, przejdź do okna dialogowego Preferencje i zaznacz pole wyboru obok Edytora skryptu. Następnie możesz wrócić, usunąć wszystkie zrobione zrzuty ekranu (aby uniknąć mylących duplikatów) i ponownie uruchomić skrypt.

Dlaczego musisz to zrobić? Pojawia się kilka okien dialogowych preferencji, po otwarciu i „sfotografowaniu” należy je wyraźnie zamknąć jednym kliknięciem przycisku Anuluj. Apple Script nie może tego zrobić, chyba że ma uprawnienia do „kontrolowania twojego komputera” w ramach tego pref. *)
