How to keep your variables in the design?

Silver John
Silver John over 14 years ago

Hi, All.

I have a script that creates a form with several fields. I want to save the contents of these fields in design, and the next time when I open the design and launches the script I have already configured the form.

There are functions for including the file or string to .brd-file, there are functions for working with the properties of the design...

What is the best way to save my settings?

Maybe someone has an example code?

Thank you.

     For a better understanding of the issue: we are talking about additional editing tool for aligning objects on the board. The default tools are stored individual settings for each design (probably in the design).
    But would not it be negative consequences if I save my data in the design? Maybe in the next version of the editor, this feature will be unavailable or even break down the design? Or perhaps these data will be conflict with other programs?
    Does anyone have an opinion on this issue? How do you keep your variables, in the design or in a separate file?
