A set of free scripts to help manage binary plist files
Authored by: maddys_daddy on May 26, '05 10:12:38PM

Alternatively (although this is outside of the terminal, which I believe was the original spirit of the OP), Quicksilver has a "Launch as Root" action. So you open Quicksilver, type "prop", (plist editor is at the top of the list by just typing these 4 letters), hit tab, type "root", and the "Launch as Root" action shows up. Hitting enter results in the administrator password prompt, and viola, plist editor with root priveleges. May sound like alot of typing and steps, but it's really quite fluid and fast, especially once you become adept at using QS, and it's certainly faster than opening the terminal (if it's not already), and typing in the entire path. Absolutely indispensable.

if you don't find "launch as root" you need to activate this action in quicksilver. Launch Preferences, select Actions, select Files & Folders and tick "Launch as Root"
