If you allowed people to determine who could view their user information, what would be the best way in which to store and access that information? They would be setting their preferences in any of these ways: User Based (select specific users - ie. Block: "Munch", "Dummy") Checkbox Based (select one or many groups of users - ie. "My ...
I'm writing preferences for my app which registers it for launch at login (using LSSharedItemList API). All goes fine and my app toggles its presence in user's login items upon checkbox status. Now I want to tackle another problem when user actually removes the app from "Login items" in Accounts.prefPane. Using Notification Watcher I se...
Say my app has a widget and I use a configuration screen to do initial app widget setup and set a few preferences. I want the user to be able to change those settings by simply going into my app's settings screen and clicking an intent preference to open up the same options the user was given when the app was created. Can I use the sam...

Can anyone recommend the best practice for storing general site preferences? For example, the default page title if the script doesn't set one, or the number of featured items to display in a content box, or a list of thumbnail sizes that the system should make when a picture is uploaded. Centralizing these values has the obvious benefit...
I would like to know what is the maximum length of a String when saving in the classic preferences System: var prefs = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"] .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch); prefs.setCharPref("com.exemple.namespace.preference", potentiallyLongString); Couldn't find it...
I have an iPhone app that stores some settings using NSUserDefault standardUserDefaults. When I add new features to the app I need to add new default settings and so I have to migrate/upgrade the NSUserDefaults.

I'm working on a plugin system. Some plugins need user input. I would like them to be able to report to the main application what input they need and have the main application decide how to get it. It seems like there might be some kind of library designed for specifying options like this. So like the plugin could return some kind of Opt...

I have a screen where you can enable/disable modules for my Android application. For this I use a CheckboxPreference screen. This is all good, but the summary field gets cut off if longer descriptions are added than 2 lines. Suppose I have 4-5 lines of description available for each module, I would like to display this in a helper wind...
This question is similar in spirit to : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/492178/links-between-personality-types-and-language-technology-preferences But it is based specifically on indentation (spaces vs tabs and the number of spaces). The reason I am asking here instead of searching is because I remember seeing a specific document w...
I would like to be able to close the editpreference dialog (as shown here http://twitpic.com/18ttdp) by pressing the 'Done' button on the keyboard. Currently, pressing 'Done' just dismisses the keyboard but leaves the dialog. In other parts of my application I use code similar to the following to intercept the 'Done' key press and exec...

I have only a little question: Why the CFPreferences-API creates multiple files in my UserPrefs-Directory? All the files have my Bundle-Identifier as name and all (except the one, the original) have added a suffix like this: com.myComp.myApp.plist <- (only this plist-file should be created) com.myComp.myApp.plist.0qzcicc com.myComp.my...
I am looking to persist user preferences into a collection of name value pairs, where the value may be an int, bool, or string.
