PrefEdit detects automatically when applications change preference values at the same time the user is editing settings via PrefEdit.You can copy an effective setting in the preference search path to a different scope, allowing to easily override a default value at a later search position.The preference search path used by each compliant macOS application can be visualized, showing the effects of overriding settings and reflecting the view on the settings as each application sees them.Preference domain inspectors allow to view the exact relationship between entries in the live preferences database and their counterparts in the persistent preference files.It is shown if certain settings are controlled by the client management (MCX) system of macOS which is used via directory services or Apple Profile Manager in professional networks.The "Versions" feature of macOS can be used to restore old versions of a file you have edited with PrefEdit.The application has full undo and redo capabilities with an unlimited number of steps.Entries can be moved or copied within the same or different files, using copy/paste or drag-and-drop.The program handles nested entries of any depth correctly. Property names, entry types and values can be edited freely. You can change any entry in the preferences database or in a property list file.Targeted access to private preference suites, such as Powerbox settings or shared application group preferences is also possible.PrefEdit can automatically determine the correct preference domain name for a given application.You can search for any setting in the database, either by value or by internal name of the preference.Browse through the complete list of macOS preference domains, including the preference settings of programs protected by an application sandbox. With its long experience and maturity, it has become one of the most advanced preference management applications for macOS available today. PrefEdit was the first preference editor ever published for Mac OS X. This information must not be overwritten by any bizarre automatic mechansim using data that are completely out of date.PrefEdit is an application to manage nearly all aspects of the preference system contained in every macOS installation. If they are not able to program a query for the correct and current data, they should at least allow me to edit this information manually and permanently. In ARD 3.6.2 it finally seemed to be fixed and now they re-introduced this buggy behaviour again!!! It has been annoying for quite a long time and many ARD versions that you could not override this stupid ARD name caching behaviour (or whatever it is) by manually editing the ARD clients host name/IP (hey, Apple, did you ever hear about "nslookup" or "dig"?). nslookup is properly resolving the names but ARD goes berserk with those two servers and always keeps using the wrong, 'historic' host names and/or IPs. and after closing ARD the passwords were gone again □ Then I did a Permission Repair and at least this problem was fixed and the passwords "re-appeared" (I'm not sure whether this problem occured because I use a standard user account for work).Īnyway, later, I swapped the IP's of two OS X servers and modified their DNS entries accordingly. When I did the upgrade to ARD 3.7 on OS 10.8.5 all user names and passwords for those 50 computers were lost! Had to re-add them all one-by-one □
