I've got my own preference pane, its working great- except I want to be able to view the settings from another program (so I can have the preference pane 'control' the configuration). Problem is, I can't find the settings saved into a file by my preference pane. I've searched everywhere! Any ideas? Thanks.

So you're looking for the application's preferences? Or your preference pane's preferences?

You could have your prefpane open the app's plist, copy it as original, and save it back. Preferences are usually saved in ~/Library/Application Support or /Library/Application Support.

I am looking for the preferences saved by the preference pane.

Then, the original idea was to have my application read the options entered in the preference pane's settings, and act accordingly. Struck a problem when I could not find the preference pane's settings anywhere, even in the /Library/Application Support folders!

Thankyou for the suggestion.
