Another help with plist mod... (sorry!)

[GoldenTequila]

Hi,

Please know that this is not a double post... I have a completely different question and help I would like.

Long story short, I replaced my N82AP.plist with the one from here: ModMyi Forums - Downloads - N82AP

The problem is, before doing this, when I opened N82AP.plist in WinSCP, I used to get a neat readable texts like this:



But, after I replaced it with the one from the link above, I get this instead:

bplist00Ò8capabilitiesYiconStateß

I would like to get back the readable form, but I have no idea how. Can someone please help? Thank you.

You will have to convert the binary to xml (plain text). There are a few apps to do that with, I use iFile, just open the plist and save it back.


EDIT: Here's the converted text:
