dotfiles: Finding a few commands not working on Mavericks (10.9).

# Disable the sound effects on boot
sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=" "

# Menu bar: show remaining battery time (on pre-10.8); hide percentage
defaults write com.apple.menuextra.battery ShowPercent -string "NO"
defaults write com.apple.menuextra.battery ShowTime -string "YES"

# Menu bar: hide the useless Menu bar icons (only battery and clock)
defaults write com.apple.systemuiserver menuExtras -array "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Battery.menu" "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Clock.menu"

Only seems to work on certain folders, doesn’t override globally

# Use column view in all Finder windows by default
# Four-letter codes for the other view modes: `icnv`, `clmv`, `Flwv`
defaults write com.apple.finder FXPreferredViewStyle -string "clmv"

This doesn’t disable, even after quitting and restart finder. Still ending up with the file extension overlaid in icon view. http://d.pr/i/7lRn

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :DesktopViewSettings:IconViewSettings:showItemInfo false" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :FK_StandardViewSettings:IconViewSettings:showItemInfo false" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :StandardViewSettings:IconViewSettings:showItemInfo false" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

Strangely enough, I tried using NO instead of false, while I had the finder plist open, and it changed from NO back to YES on its own, right before my eyes. Odd.

I think that’s it? Feel like I’m forgetting a couple of others.
