I'm not sure if this is old news but I only spotted this Settings window after re-downloading ProperTree to resolve Snapshots following the release of OpenCore v0.7.4

By default, ProperTree is set to "Expand Children When Opening Plist" but you can now disable that behavior to open your config.plist like so ;

Screenshots were done in Ubuntu.

To open the Settings window ;

Launch ProperTree > File > Settings and it will launch a separate Settings window (as shown earlier);

You can customize quite a lot; dark mode, light mode, fonts, colours e.g, like changing the Highlight Color to Ubuntu orange (hex colour #dd4814). You can change the boolean from "True/False" to state "Yes/No" and match the behavior of other Plist Editors like e.g, Xcode or PlistEdit Pro.

You can also change the Snapshot function to match the different OpenCore release version, handy if your staying with an earlier OpenCore version release and don't want the OpenCore Snapshot function changing your config.plist formatting. You get the idea !

It may well be old news but I've never noticed the Settings of ProperTree. Unchecking the expand children option makes for a smoother user experience. Thanks for the tip.
 
Nice!, thanks for sharing. I was having issues opening config.plists in ProperTree earlier on my M1MBA with Monterey. Fixed it by downloading Python 3.9.7.
