Downloading PlistEdit 2.4 for Mac from the developer's website was possible when we last checked. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this app available.
According to the results of the Google Safe Browsing check, the developer's site is safe. Despite this, we recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus software. The actual developer of this Mac application is Rixstep. The application belongs to Productivity Tools.
From the developer:
One of the great things about OS X is the level of control the user has over the system. System and application settings are not stored in an unfathomable quagmire like Microsoft's 'registry' but in easy to read XML files in eminently accessible text format.
Up until OS X 10.4 Tiger that is.
The OS X XML parser has always been able to read and write XML in a variety of formats, but the textual format has always been the default.
You may want to check out more Mac applications, such as NanoCount, Apimac Clean Text or Gordon, which might be related to PlistEdit.
