Whether settings are stored as a customproperty or as a series of cards, I don't mind, so long as I can choose
past settings without having to re-type the all each time!
But that would require that the "Version Info" (and thus "mctools") stack would have to be
saved every time, something i woul like to avoid...
Would someone mind if i create a "MCIDE" folder in the prefs folder on your HD and save all infos there
in a text file or stack?
specialfolderpath("preferences") -> Mac specialfolderpath("35") -> Win 2000/XP specialfolderpath("system") -> Win 95-99 $HOME -> *NIX ? Please advice if there is a better place on *NIX"!
Then i could provide some menus/buttons in the "Version Info" stack...
What do you all think?
Klaus,
Your proposal is definitely the way to go. Saving as an extra card is never a good idea unless the card is used only as a storage file and is seperate from the business end of the prefs. That way, you can throw away the prefs stack file and the 'business-end' will create a new one and save it.
Storing the standalone prefs as XML soundls like a pretty good idea.
best,
