davidm71 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hi, I have two separate osx installs on different hard drives with two default.plist files or one default.plist file on each efi partition. If I open onr up for editing with textedit or xcode and save, then open the other file with same name the data from the first file gets loaded instead and changes all my values. Anyone know whats going on??

MacUser2525 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Even though identically named partitions when mounted should be differently named one having a space then 1 if you use mount command in console, it looks like your editor is getting confused opening/saving to the first one it sees no matter what. I would suggest only having one partition mounted at the time of editing then it should have no choice but to be working on the correct file.

davidm71 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'm not sure if it matters if both are mounted or not but I'll be more careful from now on. Serious bug in my opinion.

davidm71 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Noticed something else weird. Copied the SLE folder to the desktop, and noticed changes made in copied folder also happening in original 'Extensions' folder. WTH?!!?
