Get Label colors from Pref

[Tomas Sinkunas]

Hi.

AE CC2014 complains "After Effects error: could not convert Unicode character" when I try to read label color values from pref file

app.preferences.getPrefAsString("Label Preference Color Section 5", "Label Color ID 2 # 1", PREFType.PREF_Type_MACHINE_INDEPENDENT)

Is there something I am missing?

Hi Dan.

Yes, I've read that post earlier. However, the main issue is that

app.preferences.getPrefAsString("Label Preference Color Section 5", "Label Color ID 2 # 1", PREFType.PREF_Type_MACHINE_INDEPENDENT)

returns error. Now way I can read values from that pref section.

I am on Mac.

I`m also interested in this topic and want to create swatches like there: get swatches in dropdown list with color preview...

But still didn`t figure out how to operate with this.

Maybe Adobe engineers could give us some tips on reading this data.
