Prefs Editor overview
Prefs Editor is an editor that works like the plist editor in Xcode, but affects the current preferences of any chosen application. It is effectively a GUI replacement for the "defaults" command.
What’s new in version 1.4
Updated on Aug 04 2022
- New: A defaults write command can be put into the pasteboard via cmd-shift-C on a selected item. Caution: If you copy an array or dictionary, the copied values will lose their type information and become strings, due to limited support by the defaults command (exception: 'Data' entries remain intact).
- New: The Domains window can remain open after opening a domain. See menu bar under File / Options.
- New: The window positions are now remembered. See menu bar under File / Options.
- Fix: Opening prefs whose plist file is reached via a symlink works now.
- Fix: Opening prefs whose name contains non-ASCII characters works now.

Excellent app from the creator of Find Any File (my favourite file search app for Mac).
I really miss Apple's standalone Property List Editor, and resent launching the whole clunky Xcode suite just to edit one little plist file. This brilliant app fills the gap beautifully and has a few extra tricks.
NB I have no connection to the developer, apart from the fact that I happily donated for FAF in the spirit of supporting the shareware I value.

Prefs Editor makes it easy to test out UserDefaults for apps as I'm developing them. There's no bells and whistles, and nor should there be. It's simple and straightforward.
