Existe alguma maneira de salvar as preferências do Mac OS X em um arquivo shell?

17

Sempre que eu reinstalar o meu Mac OS e / ou comprar um novo Mac, tenho que configurar manualmente quase todas as opções de mouse, dock, etc.

Gostaria de saber se o Mac OS ou algum software pode fornecer uma maneira de salvar todas as configurações que defini com o aplicativo System Preferences em um arquivo shell, criando algo como https://github.com/mathiasbynens/ do Mathias Bynens. arquivos de ponto / blob / master / .macos

As Preferências do Sistema parecem estar armazenadas em vários locais, dependendo de serem específicas do usuário ou do sistema. Muitos deles são armazenados em um /Library/Preferences/ou $HOME/Library/Preferences/(para configurações por usuário). Mas cada painel de preferências terá sua própria maneira de armazená-los.

Você pode ver quais preferências são armazenadas dessa maneira, digitando:

defaults read <domain>

Onde <domain>está o início do nome do arquivo nas preferências do sistema por usuário ou o caminho completo para um .plistarquivo. Por exemplo:

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

O primeiro mostrará sua personalização por usuário das configurações do protetor de tela, enquanto o segundo mostrará as configurações do protetor de tela do sistema.

As configurações são amplamente organizadas por painel de preferências, embora não necessariamente tão simples assim. Você provavelmente terá que vasculhar /Library/Preferencese subpastas (especialmente SystemConfiguration) para encontrar todas elas.

Uma opção seria apenas copiar os arquivos relevantes e colocá-los de volta no lugar para novas instalações.

Outra maneira seria exportá-lo e importá-lo conforme necessário.

Exportando as preferências do sistema de gerenciamento de energia (economia de energia) para pm.plist:

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

Importando essas preferências pm.plistno novo computador:

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

Você pode até editar os vários .plistarquivos exportados se houver preferências específicas do sistema que você deseja / não deseja compartilhar entre computadores. Dessa forma, você pode ter algumas personalizações localmente, e o importcomando não as substituirá, basta adicionar as que você definiu nos .plistarquivos. Você pode usar o defaultscomando para modificar seus próprios .plistarquivos também (mas certifique-se de especificar o caminho completo para o arquivo, não apenas um nome, ou pode estar modificando suas preferências por usuário).

"com.apple.systempreferences" não contém realmente nenhuma preferência para o sistema. Ele contém as preferências para o aplicativo System Preferences. Portanto, nenhuma das configurações reais que você faz com as Preferências do Sistema são armazenadas neste arquivo.

@TonyWilliams, você está certo, vai consertar isso ...

Produzir automaticamente um script para fazer todas as alterações necessárias é quase impossível. Os administradores de sistema do Mac passam muitas horas em bares escuros bebendo cerveja ou bourbon e trocando pedaços desses arquivos - relutamos em compartilhar todo esse trabalho, a menos que você esteja preparado para escolher a guia.

Na verdade, a maneira mais fácil de capturar as alterações de configuração é usar a captura instantânea.

Pegue uma cópia do InstallEase e faça uma captura instantânea do seu novo Mac. Agora faça toda a configuração desejada e você pode tirar outro instantâneo e criar um instalador que instalará os arquivos alterados em um novo Mac.

É claro que podem surgir complicações ao aplicar as alterações a uma nova versão do sistema operacional, mas é por isso que bebemos o bourbon.

Existe pelo menos alguma lista com as opções para o comando "defaults write"?
Enrico P. Varella
Não. O comando padrão pode gravar em qualquer arquivo de preferência no sistema, portanto, é impossível fornecer uma lista completa.
Tony Williams
Esta é uma ideia inteligente.

InstallEase parece não estar mais disponível
Sebastian
O Casper possui uma ferramenta de captura instantânea que você pode usar em vez do InstallEase.

A última vez que fiz uma reinstalação limpa, copiei a ~/Library/Preferences/pasta inteira e não encontrei nenhum problema por causa disso. As configurações de versões antigas de aplicativos e as específicas do Mac devem ser ignoradas. Quase não há arquivos em ~/Library/Preferences/uma nova instalação e, se você excluir todos os arquivos ~/Library/Preferences/, os arquivos de preferência serão recriados quando forem necessários.

Os arquivos de preferência para aplicativos em área restrita agora estão armazenados ~/Library/Containers/, mas não sei se copiá-lo para outro Mac causaria problemas.

Você também pode usar o Assistente de Migração .

Ou, se você seguir a .osxrota, poderá diferenciar a saída de defaults read:

  1. Corre defaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/a
  2. Alterar algumas configurações
  3. Corre defaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/b;diff /tmp/[ab]

Você pode executar sudo opensnoopou usar o fseventer para ver quais arquivos são modificados quando você altera as preferências na GUI.

Depois de muitas horas procurando algo pelo menos útil para o meu problema, encontrei um site chamado Secrets , que fornece muitos comandos comuns de "gravação de padrões do Mac OS".

De qualquer forma, agradeça a Tony e drfrogsplatless por me dar esclarecimentos e dicas que foram úteis para mim.

Mackup é o que você está procurando. https://github.com/lra/mackup/tree/master/doc

O Mackup parece uma ferramenta incrível, mas não suporta a gravação de padrões. Além disso, este explica-o melhor do que o link que você forneceu: github.com/lra/mackup

Aqui está um script da Apple parcialmente concluído que escrevi em agosto de 2016 para o meu Mac, publicado aqui como uma "prova de conceito" bastante forte, mas é algo com o qual você pode jogar:

(* Antes de executar este script, você deve primeiro conceder collants do Apple Script em Preferências do sistema -> Segurança e privacidade -> Acessibilidade e permitir que o Apple Script controle o computador. Você pode começar executando o script até que ele falhe. Em seguida, pare o script, navegue até a caixa de diálogo Preferências e marque a caixa ao lado de Editor de scripts.Pode voltar, excluir todas as capturas de tela já tiradas (para evitar duplicatas confusas) e iniciar o script novamente.

Por que você tem que fazer isso? Porque algumas caixas de diálogo preferenciais, uma vez abertas e "fotografadas", precisam ser explicitamente fechadas com um clique do mouse no botão Cancelar. O Apple Script não pode fazer isso, a menos que tenha direitos "para controlar seu computador" dentro desse pref. *)
