mmm, sometimes plist files are actually stored in a binary format, rather than xml. In GrowlMail’s case that isn’t true, though, so you’re fine to just open it in a text editor. alternatively, as it turns out, i’ve just worked out you can do it from the terminal using defaults, along the lines of: defaults write path/to/growlmail/info.plist/without/the/.plist SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add “uuid_string1” “uuid_string2” eg. defaults write ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add "857A142A-AB81-4D99-BECC-D1B55A86D94E” "BDD81F4D-6881-4A8D-94A7-E67410089EEB” nb. that’s all one long line :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
