Hi all,

I am struggeling with plists. It would be nice if 'controller' could use plists to find out everything there is to know about a certain installed piece of software. But I do not understand how I can access e.g. the Info-gnustep.plist. There seems to be no way I can feed defaults with a file.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

Not sure what you want ... perhaps to extract the value of a field from a plist file containing a serialised dictionary? AFAIK there is no command-line tool to do that ... though writing one would be easy. If you want, I could do one to take a single argument (the key to use for extraction) and act as a filter taking the original property list as standard input and writing the extracted value as standard output or something similar.
