PropEdit Version History

Release 1.2 (250523)

The user interface and processing in cases where the App Store requests a revalidation of the license have changed. The program now quits during the procedure, preventing the possible optical illusion that the app would be part of license checks or the handling of Apple Accounts. These tasks are carried out exclusively by macOS. Users have to restart the app manually when the App Store prevented a successful launch.

Release 1.1 (250120)

• This version is capable of preserving the sort order of keys in JSON objects (dictionaries).
• When trying to open invalid JSON files, the first detected syntax error will now be shown in detail.
• The strict limitation not to support “JSON fragments” (files that have a scalar value, not embedded in an array or dictionary at the top) has been lifted.
• The application can now open JSON5 files that use the “\x” escape notation to specify Latin characters via two hexadecimal digits.
• The application can now open JSON5 files where specific notations for floating point numbers use more leading zeros than necessary.
• Fixes a problem where specific warning dialogs may have been suppressed when opening invalid files.
• This version adds an optimization to detect whether started edit operations actually change a property list value or not. This detection can avoid that macOS triggers aggressive autosave operations when users perform a non-modifying edit operation, just as copying a value to the pasteboard, for example.
