What is stored in the Nisus plist ?

[philippe99]

Hi.
My previous "systematic print error" problem..but also some problems of other people as seen on the forum..were solved by deleting the Nisus plist file.

Beside the Nisus Preferences data and the "Recent Files" menu list, what else does this file contains as information for Nisus to run ?

Regards

Hi Philippe:

I'm glad your printing problem has been resolved! The Nisus plist file is actually created by OS X to store preferences for the application. We use it to store application settings you find in the Preferences window except for custom languages and the Nisus New File. Other software can also store preferences. Cocoa and OS X use it to store recent documents, your most recent toolbar settings and several other things. System extensions, like haxies for example, and even printer drivers may also store information in that file.

Note that because so many software components use this file, it is possible that removing it will resolve issues with software not directly controlled by Nisus (like your printer driver, for example). Based on the steps to reproduce you described, I would guess this is the situation for your printing problem.
