problem with org.virtualbox.app.VirtualBox.plist

Post by loukingjr »

I found a problem with the org.virtualbox.app.VirtualBox.plist. This is related to the thread I posted yesterday. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=64595

Whenever I have to use the Open Dialogs in VirtualBox to select a Shared Folder or Import an Appliance etc., the org.virtualbox.app.VirtualBox.plist file is modified to reflect the location I opened.

Code: Select all

bplist00‘_"NSNavPanelExpandedStateForSaveMode_!
NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForSaveMode_NSNavLastRootDirectory_!
NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForOpenMode	Z{712, 581}_/Applications/VMsZ{712, 637}6Zsóò£∑
Perfectly normal and is what it's supposed to do. The path /Applications/VMs is supposed to be remembered so that the next time I use an Open Dialog it opens to the same location. However, that's not what happens. Before the dialog window even opens the org.virtualbox.app.VirtualBox.plist is rewritten as…

Code: Select all

bplist00‘_"NSNavPanelExpandedStateForSaveMode_!
NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForSaveMode_NSNavLastRootDirectory_!
NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForOpenMode	Z{712, 581}[~/DocumentsZ{712, 637}6Zsóò£∑
Which is why every time I use an Open Dialog it defaults to the ~/Documents folder. I don't know why this is happening. It shouldn't.
