Improvements
• The PLIST items of type "date" are now displayed, in the Tree editor, using ISO-8601 format. This is similar how the latest version of Xcode displays the dates. However, if you want to revert to the previous format, you can do this by choosing "Settings/Preferences → View & Edit → Show Dates in → Medium format, using System timezone".

Improvements
• Adjustments and improvements related to macOS 26 (Tahoe).
• When the tab bar is visible at the top of a PLIST window (if you choose "View → Show Tab Bar", for example), you can drag and drop multiple files onto the tab bar, to be opened as tabs in the current window.
• "Settings/Preferences → General → Defaults for document windows you're gonna open or create" now allows you to set the default location for Text editor and if it's visible or not. Additionally, "Get from Sample Window..." allows you to set the space occupied by Tree editor vs Text editor.

Fixes
• The drop indicator, displayed when dragging PLIST items, now properly shows the location where an item would actually drop. In the previous versions there were some corner cases where the indicator was showing a slightly wrong location.

PLIST Text Editor
• This update brings a much awaited feature: the ability to visualize the raw PLIST text and edit it.
• The text editor and tree editor can be shown side-by-side, thus providing a powerful way to inspect and change the PLIST data.
• Selecting one or more items in the tree editor will automatically select and scroll to the corresponding text in the text editor.
• Any changes made in the text editor will automatically be reflected in the tree editor. If something is wrong (i.e. you mistyped something and the PLIST XML becomes invalid) then a banner will be displayed and you have the possibility to locate the line containing the error.
• You can change the location of the text editor (to the right or bottom of the window) via "View → Text Editor Location".
• You can change the font of the text editor, as well as a few other options, from "Settings/Preferences → View & Edit → Text Editor".
• The visibility of the text editor can be toggled via Command-Shift-T or "View → Show/Hide Text Editor".

Other Improvements
• Quick Look Preview: The app now provides a Quick Look Preview extension which allows you to preview the PLIST files in Finder. The minimum macOS version, for the extension to be available, is macOS 12.0 (Monterey).

Other changes
• The minimum OS version for the app is now macOS 10.15 (Catalina)

Improvements
• When dealing with a list of dictionaries, you can now specify a key whose value will be displayed as a label next to each dictionary.

To specify the key, right click the parent array or dictionary and choose "Set Label For Child Dictionaries...".
• The "Replace" text field, located in the "Find" bar, now has an "X" button which clears the field, similar to the one from "Find" field.

Fixes

• Print" now works as expected. It was broken starting a few builds ago.

Improvements
• The Strings can now be "soft wrapped" to the width of "Value" column, causing them to be displayed on multiple lines, even if they don't contain hard linebreaks. This means the heights of the rows might change when you resize the document window or the "Value" column.
• By default "soft wrap" is enabled, but if you wish to change, it can be done from "Settings/Preferences → View & Edit → Wrap Strings to the width of "Value" column" . This allows the app to behave like in the previous versions, where hard linebreaks caused a String to be displayed on multiple lines.
• "Settings/Preferences → View & Edit" also allows you to specify how many lines to be used to display Strings, either in "soft wrap" mode or in "hard linebreaks" one.
• Make sure PLIST Editor is not the default app for opening the files without any extension.
• Minor updates to the app's icon to better match Apple's guidelines.
