Site Preferences

Stuart contains what I feel to be a reasonable set of default preference values for use when Stuart is first launched.  But, sometimes it may be useful to use a different set of defaults for network users on a site-wide basis.

To facilitate this, on launch Stuart looks within the Stuart.app wrapper for a file called Preferences.  This is a Stuartrc format file which contains a list of preferences to be used instead of the default Stuart preferences (see Appendices/Stuartrc).  These preferences complement the default preferences Stuart contains internally.  The file is read before the user's defaults database is read, so the Preferences file will not affect users who have changed their defaults using the Preferences panel.

A simple method of generating the Preferences file is to use the Write Stuartrc menu item to write the file.
