How to add favorite?

[mattdee]

I attempt to add all my device to favorites with the following script:

for i in $(blueutil --paired | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/,//g')                                                                                                                                                                                  
do
blueutil --add-favourite $i
blueutil --favourites
done

How do I add a device to favorites?

Thanks, Matt

This doesn't change output of blueutil --favourites? Can you check contents of ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Bluetooth.*.plist? There should be an array for key FavoriteDevices. Also given that favourite devices are not supported from GUI since some OS version, maybe they are not really working from some version.

Not the OP – but I am also having this issue.

@mattdee @m-graf Unfortunately the favourites logic is apparently deprecated and is not working since some version of osx (probably Monterey), I've documented it in the tool in v2.10.0
