Three classes of operating system dominate the world of personal computing. The Windows OS dominates by over 90% share of the market, the Mac OS that takes about 7% of the remainder and the many others that strives to get a share of the remaining. Windows and Mac have a long history of rivalry but seem to get along to foster compatibility in recent times. One such application that allows Windows-based OS users to work with Mac OS X is the PList Editor which is a highly useful application that manages property list files.
PLIST is a file format created by Apple and contains configuration info for various apps.
The user interface of this application is similar to the inbuilt Notepad which is a native Windows OS app. Besides the familiar GUI, the app uses minimal systems resources which make it easy to multitask with other apps without causing the computer to slow down.
This application performs its functions to perfection; it allows the user to work with Property List files which are specific to the MAC OS.
If you are a Windows user and happens to work with Property List files, this application is perfect for you.
It is part from ide / file editors category and is licensed as shareware for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit platform and can be used as a free trial until the trial period will end. The plist Editor Pro demo is available to all software users as a free download with potential restrictions compared with the full version.

Description
Binary Plists
This extension can view and edit binary plists by converting the binary plist into its ASCII
representation. This ASCII version is a separate file in a temporary directory. The temporary file
is watched for changes and any changes are automatically saved back to the binary version.
Other supported file types
This extension can view and edit entitlements files (i.e. .entitlements) which are simply
property list files with a different file extension.
It can also view provisioning profiles (i.e. .mobileprovision) by decrypting them into their
plist representation. Editing provisioning profiles is not supported. [macOS only]
Known Issues
-
Inefficient file saves. When saving changes to a file this extension replaces the entire contents
of the file. This should be optimized to edit only the portion that has changed. -
Inefficient editor rendering. When changes are made to the webview (e.g. adding an item, expanding
an item, editing a value, etc) the webview is rerendered in its entirety. This should be optimized
to edit the DOM in place.
