Hi

I wish to keep a certain order of the items in my Finder window sidebar in OSX 10.5.8. For whatever reason, this sidebar sometimes changes back to default. I therefore have saved a copy of the "com.apple.sidebarlists.plist", which I can "retransfer" to the preferences folder via a small applescript.
The script also quits and restarts then the Finder.

That mostly works, but not always: from time to time, the Finder seems to refuse to read all items of the relevant plist file, showing only a few part of them....

Note: the cause are neighter wrong acess rights of the plist file nor inexistant references in the plist, the "retransferred" plist file contains the correct entries, and logout/login gives me my desired sidebar. But this procedure is cumbersome.

Is there another way to force the Finder (or whatever app is concerned) to accept the new plists?
Thanks for a hint
Rudolf
