PrefWatch v1.1.4

1.1.4 — 2026-03-12

Noise

• Filter CRDialogShown_*, lastCrash_*, SuppressCrash_* for com.adobe.crashreporter (crash dialog state and crash metadata, not user preferences)
• Filter NSDisabledCharacterPaletteMenuItem, NSFullScreenMenuItemEverywhere globally (app-controlled macOS menu item overrides, not user preferences)
• Filter butler.*, VMMemoryUsagePercent*, paletteEnhancedFontTypeKey* for com.adobe.Photoshop (internal app state, not user preferences)
• Filter DNSA*, StartupScriptsLoadedSuccessfully, FeatureMapExpiryTime for com.adobe.bridge* (dialog suppression state, startup load result, feature flag expiry)
• Filter SessionDuration globally (session duration telemetry counter, seen in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, etc.)
• Filter FirstLaunch*, firstLaunch* globally (version-stamped first-launch flags, internal app state)
• Filter RecoveryOpenProjectInfos for com.Adobe.Premiere Pro* (crash recovery project list, session state)
• Exclude com.apple.universalaccessAuthWarning (accessibility authorization state, not user preferences)
• Filter RecentMoveAndCopyDestinations for com.apple.finder (recent copy/move destination history)
• Filter preferredLocalizations globally (system-managed localization, not user preferences)
• Filter SystemInfoDynamic.* globally (internal system state, not user preferences)
• Exclude com.apple.remindd* (Reminders daemon CloudKit sync state, replaces babysitter-only exclusion)

Fix

• Python3 warning now written to log file (previously stdout only) — visible when checking /var/log/prefwatch-*.log directly
• Python3 prompt unified for CLI and Jamf: same interactive prompt in both modes, auto-continues ("y") when no TTY (Jamf)
• Python3 warning visible in Jamf output even in ONLY_CMDS mode (prefixed with Cmd: #)

Note

• Add inline NOTE for com.apple.prodisplaylibrary: defaults write alone does not apply display presets — alternative third-party tools exist
