Product Description:

PrefEdit is an application to manage nearly all aspects of the preference system contained in every Mac OS X installation. The program consists of three components which are tightly integrated with each other: A browser and editor for the Mac OS X preferences database, a browser and editor for Mac OS X property list files (plists), and a browser for preference manifest files. PrefEdit was the first preferences editor ever published for Mac OS X. With its long experience and maturity, it has become one of the most advanced preference management applications for Mac OS X available today.
