Can anyone who has OSX installed without the Apple Developer Tools (ie the default installation) confirm whether the "defaults" command line tool is installed. Typing the following into the terminal:
defaults help or the following in the message box in Revolution put shell("defaults help") should do the trick. Or the plutil command line: plutil -help / put shell("plutil -help") I have them installed on Tiger - but Ive the Developer Tools installed and they add a bunch of command line tools to the system. N.B - is there a way to determine which command lines tools are available in your shell?

I am not sure where apps tend to store there registration details, or if there are security issues. Still then why start off with a nice open XML format and then bundle command line tools that let anyone read and write the compressed pLists? Most users that can figure out where the preference files are can most likely use the shell. My money is on speed of access - parsing XML is not the fastest way to load preferences. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
