I put in a feature request on the plug-ins. At the very least for them to provide the list of plug-ins by extension. For us .plugin and .component would be the most useful, although the quicktime components that we want to check on don't even feature. Extension Attributes!!!
Sorry to say though, I hadn't got round to writing a script for doing more than just the QuickTimes. If you are doing more, you might want to look at the formatting of the output!
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "<result>"
myPath="/Library/QuickTime/"
myFileType="*.component"
myPlist="/Contents/Info"
myArray=( "CFBundleGetInfoString" "CFBundleShortVersionString" )
for myFile in $myPath$myFileType
do
## Name of Quicktime component
echo "$myFile" | cut -d "/" -f 4
myFile=echo $myFile | sed 's/ /\ /g'
for myItem in "${myArray[@]}"
do
myValue=defaults read "$myFile"$myPlist $myItem 2> /dev/null
echo " $myItem" ":" "$myValue"
done
done
echo "</result>"
You could maybe look at adding the above inside another array, for each of the locations you wish to read files and then turn myFileType also into an array for each plugin type.
Best I can offer at the mo. Hope it is of some use.
