Thanks for the reply, let me pick your braina little farther.
Take this for example:
<key>org.mozilla.firefox</key>
<array>
<data>
AAAAAACiAAMAAQAAwXGNSQAASCsAAAAAAAAAFgAH3LUAAMGaoMwA
AAAACSD//gAAAAAAAAAA/////wABAAQAAAAWAA4AGAALAEYAaQBy
AGUAZgBvAHgALgBhAHAAcAAPABoADABNAGEAYwBpAG4AdABvAHMA
aAAgAEgARAASABhBcHBsaWNhdGlvbnMvRmlyZWZveC5hcHAAEwAB
LwD//wAA
</data>
</array>
This is what is put in that file I mentioned in my first email.
I've tried doing something like:
Base64.encode64('org.mozilla.firefox') #ruby
Which ends up being: b3JnLm1vemlsbGEuZmlyZWZveA==
So my question then becomes, what else is happening to generate
this huge hash?
Er. You haven't gotten the point. The key is org.mozilla.firefox
and the data associated with it is the data bit and that bit is
base64 encoded so you need to decode that! Doing that with an online
decode I just found with google (http://makcoder.sourceforge.net/demo/
base64.php) I get:
<quote>
¢ÁqIH+ܵÁš Ì ÿþÿÿÿÿ Firefox.app Macintosh
HDApplications/Firefox.app/ÿÿ
</quote>
So it is some binary data that I don't understand together with a
textual description and path...
Best regards,
Anton
