UNable to import custom .plist files

Post by monojo »

Just updated to 10.7 however my two custom settings wont import.

The error is below, is there an easy fix or a way to convert legacy plist files?

Code: Select all

No, plists were never intended to be forward compatible.

It should work, if it doesn't it's a bug. I'll move the thread to the bug section.

The plist format on windows was not the same as on Linux and OSX. So importing from old windows releases doesn't work.

But It tried to be compatible, anyway, it should throw an exception in the GUI code.
