I’m looking to test that UIctl 0.33 won’t be hurt by temporary files created by afp, specifically those that start with “:”. Test version is here.

New version of plutil ready to be tested. The new version lets you set boolean, string, integer and float values and should complain (rather than barf) when presented with a nonexistent file. The updated version is in the Erica Utilities folder. Please leave feedback in the comments. Thanks!!

Please test for stability, for text editing (renaming), etc, and leave feedback in the comments. Thank you! Test version is here. For iPhone only–unless you have a MicroMemo or other iPod recording accessory.
This version should fix/add:

Who knew that a simple recompile was all that was needed to bring my Diagnostics utility back to life? The utility is still in the Deprecated folder but it features a brand new compilation in the current zip file.
Diagnostics uses the UIDiagnostics layer provided by Apple to show application touch interactions. It’s fun to play with even if its not especially helpful.

On the concern that the problems are cropping up in /Library/LaunchDaemons instead of /System/Library/LaunchDaemons, I’ve changed the directory enumeration for that folder as well. New version 0.32 also does a few extra checks when doing the reverse lookup after you select a daemon. Hopefully these new checks will help stabilize the whole program but as always, the law of unintended consequence lingers. Please test and let me know if this fixes your problems. Also, please add an ls -al of /Library/LaunchDaemons to any bug reports. Thanks.You can download the new version from here.

I now check that launchdaemon xml files properly parse. I’m no longer taking it for granted that we’re limited to system files. Please test and let me know if this takes care of any lingering errors. If you do have problems, please do an ls -al of /System/Library/LaunchDaemons and also please run the program from the command line and paste the errors into a comment. Thanks.

Turns out that some utility or another is going around creating .svn folders all over the place. This was killing UIctl on some iPhones and iPod touches. The new update no longer does a deep search in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons. Instead, it does a shallow one as well as testing for the same two conditions it has in the past: is not a folder, does not start with a period.
