Look in slimp3/server/lib/Setup.pm  This handles the settings pages.

Sure, just make sure to explain it clearly in the description.

</fontfamily>Hi Michael,



Use Robert's setup framework to provide a settings area for the user.
I'd prefer that you provide a rudimentary interface in is area rather
than point to a file, which makes it too hard for a large fraction of
our users.



Best to saved the settings in our existing preferences file, rather
than a separate file. This needs to work seamlessly cross platform and
this is the best way to ensure this. Also, you can use the Prefs
interface for parsing and saving these options so you won't have to
write your own.
