  • 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.

  • The application has been redesigned completely. There are too many detail changes to list here. Only the most important changes are mentioned.
  • Version 2 has become a shareware application. Version 1.2 is still available as a freeware product.
  • Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is the minimum operating system version. Previous releases of Mac OS X are no longer supported.
  • By user request, the application now also includes a property list editor. All file formats for plist files are fully supported.
  • By user request, changes to the Mac OS X preferences database now require an explicit confirmation in form of a simulated "save" operation.
  • A viewer for Mac OS X Preference Manifest Files has been integrated. It supports the complete feature set. When editing preference settings, the application is automatically aware of manifests available in the system installation.
  • The application displays automatic warnings when other applications make changes to the preference database which could be in conflict with the settings the user is currently editing.
  • PrefEdit is no longer limited to user-specific, non-host-specific preference settings. It can also work with host-specific and system-wide settings.
  • On demand, PrefEdit can compute the complete preference set effective for a particular application, visualizing Mac OS X's full preference search path.
  • The user can now sort and filter the list of preference domains and keys. PrefEdit can automatically determine the correct domain for a specified application.
