Deploying com.extensis.SuitcaseFusion.plist
Default Connect Fonts preferences plist file: com.extensis.SuitcaseFusion.plist
The above plist file can be configured and placed into ~/Library/Preferences prior to the first launch of the Connect Fonts Desktop application. Make sure to leave the vault.path value blank. Below is a table of items that can be altered to tailor to your needs.
The plist is in a binary format, making it unreadable in most text editors. XCode can handle it natively, or you can convert it to XML for easier editing:
plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.extensis.SuitcaseFusion.plist
