| Thanks Tim!
Yes, please write bugs ( bugreporter.apple.com) for anything you'd like that you don't have access to that you want access to. Even if you don't see the request implemented right away, we do read the bugs, we just sometimes have to prioritize.

We don't actually know how to parse the file - Path Manager just searches for string data and filters it. Path Manager can only read the data, it cannot write anything to the preference file. That was the best I could do without expending hundreds of man-hours trying to reverse-engineer an undocumented format that is likely to change with each version of FCP.

Okay. But then how does Digital Rebellion's Path Manager read the paths?
Is this one of those "you have to be in the club" deals ;)

>> Is there a document on how to decrypt and read a Final Cut Pro preference file? I have an app that currently requires the user to choose its own scratch disk path and asks them to match it to their Final Cut Pro scratch disk but I would like to just be able to read the FCP preference file and extract the path so my app will dynamically change when the user changes their Final Cut preferences.
