The xml notation doesn't seem to work anymore in Majove.
To set something other than a string, you can use XML notation like this
Code:
;@@ <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
;@@ <array>
;@@ <string>ext</string>
;@@ </array>
Hmm doesn't seem to work reliably. The debug windows shows the value, the app not. (yep have also included 'after create executable'

Unfortunately my MacBook can not go any higher than High Sierra. I'm unable to update this tool now.

I just tried and it worked fine (macOS 10.14.6, PB 5.71 x64).
The plistTool app did show the current value.

Just for info: seems like the plist is not always updated correctly (or missing values) when recompiling even if the preview shows the correct result. It seems to help to disable the debug window with ;@@ DisableDebugWindow . Maybe some file is still in use or something.
Also can't make the array stuff work..
;@@ DisableDebugWindow
;@@ LSApplicationCategoryType = public.app-category.utilities
;@@ CFBundleDevelopmentRegion = English
;@@ CFBundleExecutable = t1
;@@ NSHumanReadableCopyright = copyright
;@@ CFBundleIdentifier = nl.test.t1
;@@ CFBundleName = t1
;@@ CFBundleShortVersionString = 1.0.0
;@@ <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
;@@ <array>
;@@ <string>t1</string>
;@@ </array>
MessageRequester("Test", "Test")
CFBundleTypeExtensions is not added to the plist in the .app.

How can I copy resources to a subfolder with this tool?
I tried to add all resources from a subfolder, like:
But the tool seems to copy all content of Addons just to the root resources folder, but I would like it to be in Resources/Addons afterwards.
Is there any (hidden) option to respect the folder structure?

One should already take the folder structure of the APP as it is intended.
This means "MyAPP.APP/Contents/Resources". Everything that contains additional files to be read can be placed in this folder (including subfolders).
Settings of programmes then in the folder "GetUserDirectory(#PB_Directory_ProgramData)".
I then always create a folder called "Company/Application" in this folder.
Copy on fly.
PB IDE Tool MyAppData

Sorry for the delay. I've been using Windows and have not upgraded or purchased a new Mac.
