Where is the Lion version of Property List Editor?

Did you do it this way:

Or did you actually move the app and the framework inside of the Xcode.app structure?

I created a simple way to install the Property List Editor DevTool with or without Xcode installed.

Watch this. It also has a download in case you don't wanna get the whole Xcode package. It's free and simple.

I'm new to he forums so please go easy on me. dx

I just came in to say that I followed the instructions and it worked like a charm. I had installed XCode 3.2.6 some time ago, in order to gain back the Property List Editor tool (since it is such a pain waiting for XCode to open and then navigate through it just to look at a PList). I believe I did this back when I found out they took it out from XCode 4.

However, this meant that I had multiple copies of XCode, of which one was specifically for a single tool. I followed the instructions as noted, except that instead of extracting the files from the downloaded package, I just used the ones from the older installation in the "/Developer-3.2.6" folder.

• Copy the "Property List Editor.app" bundle into the "/Developer/Applications/Utilities" folder
• Copy the "PlistEdit.framework" folder into the "/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks" folder
• Throw the "/Developer-3.2.6" folder to the trash
• Empty trash (otherwise, it will continue complaining that the app is in the trash instead of picking up the copied one).
• And Bob's your uncle. 🙂

I re-associated the plist file types with the "Property List Editor.app" in its new location, and everything works as I wanted.

Note that I am not a developer (well, not any more), and I've only kept up with XCode for some of the tools that allow me to manage my system, including the "Property List Editor.app".

A big "thank you" to all of you for the assistance!

Cheers!
