A set of free scripts to help manage binary plist files
It's easy to manipulate plist files, both binary and text, with the
defaults command. For example, defaults read com.apple.finderwill list the contents of the Finder's preferences. You can then use defaults write to modify the contents. defaults find searches all preference files for a given string.
What people often don't realize is that you can also give defaults read ~/Documents/somefileNote that you must leave off the ".plist" extension. Be sure to read man defaults for details on all of it's features, as it has many.

You can use the
to change the .plist file back into xml. The system doesn't seem to care which format the files are in, and when they are rewriten by the app or system then they will be changed back to binary1.
Use to change them back if you wish.
