I don't know, what the "how to" standard would be. I am using an .xml file for my preferences, because it's easy and safe to write and read. Tiemo

So, the debate of the morning here is: Is there a standard or common (most frequently used) convention for the file extension for a preferences or options file that is common between Windows and OSX and Linux? Or for that matter iOS and Android as well? I've see .CFG [Configuration File] and .INI [Initialization File] or .PRF [Preferences or Profile File] as well as the more common .TXT, or .DAT. I have also see .prefs and .preferences in use. I have also see a couple attempts are a "proprietary" extensions - for example is a software products is called XYZ Writer, the preferences file extension may be something like .xyzprefs. What do people on the list use? Are there any standards or most common conventions? Google didn't see to find anything for me that suggests there are any standards. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
