reload color settings after a photoshop cleaning

Question

Hello everyone how are you ?I am working, at a studio photo, there is a post for clients with photoshop, between shootings i run a bash script who delete all the data of photoshop rm -r /Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop*rm -rf /Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop*rm -rf /Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Photoshop* I got a struggle I need to setup with script bash or something else, a solution when I should clean all Photoshop setting without touching the color settings, but I can't find the life which is link with thoses settings. Could someone can help me please ? I think about another way to do this, maybe a script after I ran my cleanup, which load the good CSF file with my settings. It need to be automatically because the client clean the laptop at the end of the shoot and they always forgot the color settings. Sorry for my english Best regards,

@SheriffTech – I think that @Kevin Stohlmeyer has a good suggestion.

If you wish to stick with your bash script approach, then a Photoshop JavaScript to load your custom-named color settings file "SHERIFF":

loadColorSettings("SHERIFF");

function loadColorSettings(csfName) {
	function s2t(s) {
        return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
    }
	var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
	var descriptor2 = new ActionDescriptor();
	var reference = new ActionReference();
	reference.putProperty( s2t( "property" ), s2t( "colorSettings" ));
	reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "application" ), s2t( "ordinal" ), s2t( "targetEnum" ));
	descriptor.putReference( s2t( "null" ), reference );
	descriptor2.putString( s2t( "name" ), csfName );
	descriptor.putObject( s2t( "to" ), s2t( "colorSettings" ), descriptor2 );
	executeAction( s2t( "set" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );
}

A simpler option is to use the Photoshop Preferences/General and click the Reset Preferences upon Quit.That resets your PS preferences and maintains the color settings.
