If all you're asking is how to treat your users properly, you and your Windows counterpart are wise: Don't change users' settings out from under them. The usual way to deal with this is to ask to make the change upon the user's first launch of your installed software. — F On 2 May 2012, at 7:18 PM, Michele Corum wrote:

Really the question is not if we can add a line item to a .plist but "Do we or do we not change user defined preferences?"

My Windows counterpart here agrees with meŠuser defined is user defined and we don't change those once a user has defined them.
