You can at least find out what the file permissions are this way:
on mouseUp -- as in a button answer folder "Pick the folder containing your file:" if it = empty then exit mouseUp set the defaultFolder to it put the detailed files into tFileList filter tFileList with "*Preferences.dat*" -- leaves a single line answer item 10 of tFileList -- the file permissions item end mouseUp
Permissions here can be understood same as on other systems.

The result of the above script: 666
As I remember from my days of perl scripting, 666 for a file pretty much means that anyone can read/write the file.
So with that in mind, how does anyone else write their preferences on a Mac? I'd rather just put the prefs in a custom property, but there's no way to save the data within the standalone other than write it to an external file.
