Indeed, I have used the CF... methods, but, if I had taken more time to learn, I'd learnt the equivalent BinaryStream and written my file as I want (rather than using CF stuffs, which aren't controlled by me). But they are standards from Apple anyway.

Right, standards that Apple could change at any time.

Indeed. That's why I prefer my own code which won't change.

It's not your code that I was referring to, but the binary plist format.

Well, my code would produce my own format as well ;-)

Ah - so you're looking to create your own formatted plist file for your own app use? That's not what your original post asked :-).

Yes, as I'm forced to use the plist written by my preferences pane (for which I haven't had enough time to learn how to write my own format). Later on this thread I explained I'd prefer my own format.

If that's the case, then why not create your format from scratch? Then, you can choose how you want the data stored and edited.

That'd be great. Unfortunately, I don't know XCode enough. It's easier to use RB to link to CF (even if I ask much on this mailing list) than learning more in XCode. I think I'm a lazy boy :-(
