  After Effects prefs.txt numeric values as codes? (CS6)

  Posted by Tim Hildebrandt on December 21, 2017 at 12:14 am

  Hi there,

  I want, through scripting, change some (numeric) values of the preferences. Somehow those values aren’t stored as numeric values in the preferences.txt file of AE. Instead, the numbers are represented as code. Does someone know, how to decode this?

  Some examples are Pref_ANIMGRID_CELLS_HORIZ, Pref_ANIMGRID_CELLS_VERT, Pref_GRID_PIX_PER_DIV, Pref_GRID_SUB_PER_DIV, Pref_LAST_DATE_TIME, Pref_LIMIT_FILES_PER_FOLDER and maybe more.

  I’ve written down the numbers and the represented codes of those:

  
code in the AE prefs.txt = value inside AE
"?"800000 = 1
"@"000000 = 2
"@@"0000 = 3
"@"800000 = 4
"@"A00000 = 5
"@"C00000 = 6
"@"E00000 = 7
"A"000000 = 8
"A"100000 = 9
"A "0000 = 10

  Thank you for any help!
  Tim
