New Features:

• Fixed a bug that could lead to a crash when changing the class to a Boolean, Integer, Float, or Date class.
• “Open Domain Quickly” window no longer allows you to delete the preferences of a running application, which could lead to that application crashing.

version 1.2.2 (February 17, 2007)

Fixed a bug where canceling when asked to save could cause Pref Setter to crash.
Fixed a bug where dragging or pasting a “defaults write...” string that has a domain that doesn’t already exist would create a new file for that domain, but that file wouldn’t be writable by Pref Setter.
Fixed a bug where doing a reverse search in a plist document would actually return all items.
Fixed a bug where removing all the text in a search in a plist document would cause the search field to stop working until you clicked on the list and then back into the search bar.

version 1.2.1 (February 03, 2007)

Fixed a bug where editing integer types could cause the editing to “freeze” and lead to Pref Setter crashing on quit.
Fixed a bug where moving the mouse over the tab bar could cause a crash after closing a tab.
Fixed a bug with Drag & Drop / Paste where a dragged/pasted item would seem to disappear.
When dragging items, Pref Setter now draws a slightly transparent background behind them so that you can see what you’re dragging easier.
When dragging or pasting an item, Pref Setter now scrolls to the item. If there are multiple items dragged or pasted, Pref Setter scrolls to the first item.
Updated the Help documentation.
Pref Setter now requires Mac OS X 10.3 and later.

version 1.2 (August 29, 2006)

New Features:

You can now drag/paste a “defaults write....” string into Pref Setter.
Drag & Drop on tabs
You can now drag a plist file from the Finder onto a document window or tab and have the contents added to that plist file.
Column sizes in lists are now saved
You can now reorder the columns in lists
Find panel now has a column showing the values
Find panel will now display the number of results found
You can now double click on the “disabled” items in the Find panel to open up that plist file. You can also Get Info on these items.
New alert dialog that will display if you try to paste/drag an item with a name that already exists in the document you're pasting/dragging to.
New crash reporter dialog. If it detects a crash since the last time it ran, a dialog will open up your default email client and send the crash report to me (if you so choose).
New “Send Feedback…” menu item, which opens up your default email client to send me feedback
New setting controlling whether or not custom colors are used in the lists. This is off by default — if you want any custom colors you may have set, you'll need to enable this setting (found in the Fonts & Colors portion of the Preferences window).
Can now set a custom font for the lists and tabs.
If you are using tabs, document position & settings are saved/restored when you switch between tabs (Note: starting a search resets these settings).
You can now undo past a save
Selections are now drawn shaded
“Open Domain Quickly” window can now be set to always be visible, even when in the background
The print output now has colored syntax.
Changed Features:

Changed Pref Setter's identifier from com.dreamstatic.prefSetter to net.nightproductions.prefSetter. The values are transferred to the new domain, and the com.dreamstatic.prefSetter.plist file is deleted from the Preferences folder.
Changed the way dragging/pasting as text works
Got rid of the prefSetter.... string; now an XML property list string is used.
Dragging multiple items to a text document now coalesces all the defaults and XML strings together
Removed custom toolbar showing the search bars; “Open Domain Quickly” and document windows now have a normal toolbar
Preferences window redesigned
Minor tweaks to the tabs
Get Info window has been updated, and added entries for the owner/group and access permissions of the file being viewed
Find panel has been slightly rearranged
About window slightly changed
Help documentation updated
Bug Fixes:

Fixed a bug where undo/redo could stop working
Fixed the “crashing on window close” bug on multiprocessor machines
Fixed an issue where dragging/pasting in an item that already exists would create a second item of the same name. When saving a document that had such duplicate names, it was undefined as to which one was actually saved.
Fixed an issue where you would be allowed to name a new key or rename a key to have the same name as another existing key.
Fixed a bug where dragging an array or dictionary to another document window could cause items in them to not be able to be deleted
Fixed a bug when adding new items while in a search. These items would only exist while in the search and disappear when it was done.
Fixed the issue where pressing the “Don't ask me again” check box in the delete warning dialogs wouldn't actually set that option (i.e. it would still ask again)
Fixed the issue where closing a tabbed window with unsaved changes could display the dialog asking if you want to save your changes more than once for any given document.
