Why install ALL of XCode, when you can download just the plist editor, there are free ones that do the job. Beats installing the xcode monster on a users macbook pro just to work around LDAP problems caused by Apples infinite wisdom…

I followed the instructions in the sveinbjorn.org link, but could not make things work on my new Macbook Air running 10.7.4. I needed extra files in the Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks folder. I copied the following to the root level of my Lion drive from an XCode 3.2.6 installation on a Snow Leopard volume (had previously downloaded XCode from Apple developer site):
/Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsBundleInjection.framework
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsCore.framework
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsCParsing.framework
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsFoundation.framework
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsInterface.framework
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsKit.framework
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsRemoteClient.framework
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsSupport.framework
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaKit.framework
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PlistEdit.framework

It’s possible I didn’t need all of these, but I got error messages saying I needed JavaKit.framework, DevToolsCore.framework and DevToolsFoundation.framework, so I guessed at what might be necessary and didn’t bother to eliminate any others.

[...] By default Gmail Notifier does not have a value set for AutocheckInterval, which can lead to extended lengths of time between email checking (hours if you’re away from your computer, and regularly 30+ minutes while at your Mac). You can also just manually adjust this setting by adding the value in a Plist editor. [...]

I just wish PLE provided some sort of search capability.

I was looking for a plist editor a while ago and had a hard time getting anything worthwhile that was free, finally I came across Apple. It amuses me that developers charge for plist editors when Apple has one for free like this, I guess suckers are quickly parted with their money!
