How to use `defaults write` for a dict? #2

Open dszidi opened 9 months ago

For example when I want to use defaults write command to add the <imagepath> value in GWorkspace.plist, I need to reachdesktopinfo/dict/imagepath. I have run into online resources telling me to use -dict or -dict-add but that only exposes the other problem with defaults write in that it will happily write anything to the xml. In the case of <desktopinfo> it wipes out the entire dictionary.

This forces us to currently have minimal plist files in GNUstep/Defaults in addition to our preferred method of using defaults commands in the /opt/bin/dubstep-defaults script
