getPrefAsBool seems to hooked up to computerSaysNo.exe
The extendscript function app.preferences.getPrefAsBool() always returns false. Here's a demo, comparing it to getPrefAsLong, which seems to work: app.preferences.getPrefAsLong("Main Pref Section v2", "Pref_SEQUENCE_ZEROS", PREFType.PREF_Type_MACHINE_SPECIFIC)
> 5
// returns 5 which should be truthy, but
app.preferences.getPrefAsBool("Main Pref Section v2", "Pref_SEQUENCE_ZEROS", PREFType.PREF_Type_MACHINE_SPECIFIC)
> false
//returns wrong answer
app.preferences.getPrefAsLong("Main Pref Section v2", "Pref_HIDE_LOCKED_MASKS", PREFType.PREF_Type_MACHINE_SPECIFIC)
> 0
// returns 0, should be falsy
app.preferences.getPrefAsBool("Main Pref Section v2", "Pref_HIDE_LOCKED_MASKS", PREFType.PREF_Type_MACHINE_SPECIFIC)
> false
//returns false, so it's not just inverting the answer
app.preferences.getPrefAsLong("Main Pref Section", "Pref_SCRIPTING_FILE_NETWORK_SECURITY")
> 1
//returns 1. Note, using "Main Pref Section" and no PREFTYPE enum
