PrefEdit 2.2 - Inspect and edit all preference settings for OS X apps. (Shareware)

PrefEdit is a utility that allows you to inspect and edit all preference settings for Mac OS X applications. The settings are displayed in a browser and can be edited by simple point-and-click operations. You can also do a full-text search on all settings, or clean up unused entries of applications that have been uninstalled.

PrefEdit can access all preference settings of \"well-behaved\" Carbon and Cocoa applications. Older Mac applications running in the Classic environment used a totally different system for storing preference settings. The settings of such programs do not appear in PrefEdit.

WARNING: If you edit, add or delete preference values of application programs or the Mac OS X operating system, you should know what you are doing. Inappropriate values can cause serious malfunctions in the system which could destroy important data or create other unexpected effects.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 2.2:

• Added full support for cut/copy/paste when handling complete subtrees of preference settings or property list entries.
• When editing arrays, elements can now be reordered using drag-and-drop.
• The generation of default names for newly added elements has been enhanced.
• Handling of the disclosure triangle when converting an entry to an array or dictionary data type has been made more user-friendly.
• Fixed a problem where the application could terminate unexpectantly after several warnings have been received that a monitored preferences domain has been modified by an external application. This only affects 64 bit operation on Intel processors.
