Countdown Xtra Script Problems

superpants312 · Post by **superpants312** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 7:16 pm

I have a question regarding the "Countdown" Xtra.

The Xtra in question (haha)

I know it was switched from /script to %_script a while ago, but on this page it still asks for /script. It has worked in the past with the %_script but it seems like it's not working now.

A comment on the Xtra page said one had to edit the .plist file, but I don't know how to do this.

Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks a lot,
Heather

To edit the .plist file, you can open in it TextEdit, or something like SubEthaEdit. (by Right-Clicking the plist and going to the "open With..." option)

*is lazy*

Are there directions on what to edit into the .plist on the Xtra page? If so, follow those

what's wrong with apple's default XML dohiky?

Oh yeah... Just double click the .plist, and it should open in the Plist Editor

Double-clicking it just prompts me to choose an application, but I used TextEdit and edited it (from /countdown to %_countdown) and it's working (I think).

Thanks!

The plist editor only installs with the developer tools.

I knew there was a reason I didn't think of that originally
