creating new plist file does not work #1

I tried creating a new plist file with vim and copying the XML from a website, but when saving the buffer nothing happens and I don't see any error messages. I'm guessing support is currently only available for editing existing files.

It is my understanding that both the XML and binary formats are equally acceptable on disk, so I think it would be a bit presumptuous to convert new files to binary automatically. Things should work fine if you convert the file manually.

What process should one go about when editing a new plist file in vim when afterimage is installed? It seems a bit strange that write functionality is unhelpfully broken by default.

Oh, I didn't realize write was broken entirely. Fixing. . . .
