Edit plist inside a kext

- open Kext or drop kext to the list, all plist Files will be listed
- on the right side you see the folder
- on the bottom you see the full path
- choose File in the List - open Editor - edit File
- When you exit the program the correct permissions on the kext file are set.

I like this, very useful. 

 

A couple of things;

 

it needs a cool name like...I don't know, "X-Ray" or something. :)

 

The "File" and "Edit" menu titles are in German.

 

The editor asks for my password up front, which is annoying when i just want to look at a plist.

I can open a kext from S/L/E by clicking cancel, but it won't let me open the info.plist without me giving it my password first.

And then it says "password missing" for no reason when I quit.

 

It should only ask for your password when you're done and want to save your changes.

If the user hasn't done anything that requires a password, it should not ask for it.

I'll change it

You're right, I think I should omit the password prompt at start.

When you change a file in the editor do I have to do it.

Write permissions are then necessary.

 

Remember that it is a first version,

post such as yours help to make it better,

 

Thank you.

Very nice work.  Thank you.

 

One thought:  For those of us who use Clover in EFI, it would be nice to have a copy kext button that allows the user to select the location.  The copy kext to E/E assumes that the user is using Chameleon rather than Clover.

Good idea, I had not thought of that.

 

I have added a button - 'copy kext to Folder'
