 Preferential Treatment 1.1.8
This application will check your preference files (both in your user's
preference folder and the system's preference folder) for corruption by
using the "plutil" command line tool. If it finds suspect files, it will
list the files and allow you to reveal them in the Finder or move them
to the trash. You may also double-click on a file in the found files
table to open it in the application of your choice (you can designate
the default application from the preferences). There is also an option
to save the results of a scan to a text file. (Note: if you trash a file
before saving a report, the report will not include information on the
file you moved to the trash.)
"Preferential Treatment" is basically a GUI wrapped around the "plutil"
command line tool provided by Apple Computer, Inc. since Mac OS X 10.2
(see "man plutil" in the Terminal). "plutil" just checks to see if
.plist files are valid XML. This application is no panacea but it does
help to fix blatantly corrupt preference files.
