Save settings

[Teften]

Hey, is there any way to save settings for programs?

For example, if I start up Pidgin, it remembers my password, or when I start Wicd up, I don't have to reset it to use eth0 as my wired internet connection.

Or is this one of those things that requires a custom perl script?

No perl, please it is too big. But seriously, it is up to the extension maker.

Choices are:
1.  Display files that the user should add to .filetool.lst to persist settings.
2.  Make symlinks to home directory, that way backup is automatic.
3.  Create a utility to repack extension with user settings, e.g., getFlash10.

As extensions are freely contributed by the community, we can only suggest that these options be deployed.

Check .info file for option 1, otherwise post a message in TCE area so that each contributor may respond.
