I think they started turning them into binary files around OSX 10.5 so
only the older ones will be XML. From the terminal you can use the
"defaults" command to read and write plist files of any flavor. Do a
'man defaults' for details. For example:
defaults read com.apple.Safari
will list all the current settings in the file and
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu -bool true
turns on the Safari debugger menu.

The PLIST files are usually XML files, so you would just need an XML

Hi Rachel.
Thank you. I need to edit and that can not be done in textedit.
Best regards Annie.

Hi Annie,
NOt sure if this'll give you entirely what you need, but vo+shift+M on the .plist file,
and choose open with, right arrow to expand that sub-menu. Then choose "other…"
and from the applications list, choose TextEdit. You should be able to read the
information in there.
HTH,
Rachel

Hi.
I need to edit a .plist file on the mac. Is there any accessible software for
that.
I have tried with textwrangler, but to me it does not look accessible.
Best regards Annie.
