Re: Understanding Preferences

Andreas,

Very helpful, thank you.   I am indeed developing this on Windows, but with the next step of porting to Unix and eventually OS X.  My approach is to be as platform agnostic in th coding as possible hence the use of preferences for this option and future ones.

The use of a different location to store the prefs brings up a question.  Why have the prefs.js in <appdir>/defaults/preferences and another one in the users AppData directory structure?

I haven't used the install-app method before so that will be a learning experience.  If you )or anyone else) knows of any "gotchas" I'd love to hear about them.  

Again, thanks.
