Hi
The preferences file (files in ~/Library/Preferences) are in a very cryptic format when opened in TextEdit. In Panther and below, the file was a normal xml file. But now this file can be read only in Property List Editor. What has actually happeneded?

I don't remember where I read this, but apparently, the default format for preference plists is binary. They can be read and written with Plist Editor or using the defaults command, as in "defaults read com.apple.Finder".
