|
|
I've done some (re)searching for this, but basically understood that one can not save particular/own settings (for example: to configure the CE table by the gamer him/herself)...?
For the moment, I came up with this workaround: I use 'header mr.Description' to keep/use those specific settings. But it wouild be a nice feature if one could use mem_Record fields for this purpose (or something along those lines)?!
I also checked out if it was possible to use a "datastructure" analysis for this purpose, but a) it does not keep values either and b) I always remove the complete '<Structures StructVersion="2">'contents before uploading the table...
for example, see here: [ https://imgur.com/a/TrWJFtr ]
ps: still work in progress:
1. Config settings: add to menubar (will probably be working with submenu struct)
2. Show/Hide Settings mem_records: use menu-option to show/hide this section in the table. since one can only hide 'children', I probably need to place this "section" below my main script?!

you can use the registry to store table specific settings.
look into getSettings('uniquename')

oops: forgot to mention this (and btw: i am a "great" anti-fan of anything related to 'writing to registry' )
yes, I knew about that method. Came across it when looking for a way to read the registry; and getting the 'default browser' value. which one can not do "in a direct sense"... (i'm thinking bat/cmd/ps here) since the function limits access to CE's registry section. (actually did not try it out, but read several articles confirming this )
I prefer rather any method that saves such info in the table: a) deleting the table removes these traces b) no additional files (textfile, andwhatnot) besides the table itself. (it was a relief when I found out I could save png's as well)
just to be clear: i'm happy with my workaround, but would like to have seen something that follows CE's "entry layout": 'description ~ address ~ type ~ value' ?
ps: if you would give it some thought (say: add/manage a section <settings> to the table), also consider an option on hiding that section easily (as it does not really fit in the addresslist). one can hide children easily, but not the main header/entry/parent (easier said then done)...
