Preferences

[okaytype]

Been figuring out how to save and load preferences for some tools and thought I'd share my testing script.

It's working, but it might not be the best way to manage a larger number of values. And I couldn't figure out what exactly 'registerExtensionDefaults' did. (edit: I think I figured out 'registerExtensionDefaults')

Oh, that's going to be useful. Updated my gist so I don't forget how it works. Thanks.

hello @okaytype,

nice example, thanks for sharing!

the individual attribute names are a good use case for @property:

@property
def savedEditTextKey(self):
    return self.prefKey + '.savedEditText'

then later on you can just getExtensionDefault(self.savedEditTextKey)
