Add something to GeneralSettings.xml

[Oli Ullmann]

Hey everyone,

Is it okay to add something to the GeneralSettings.xml file, or will that cause problems in the compiled plug-in?

All the best,
Oli

@Oli-Ullmann Are you adding it through scripting? What do you want to add?

Instead of modifying the GeneralSettings.xml file, have you tried creating a .js file and saving it? That would be a more definitive solution.

I have several animations in my plug-in and would like to give users the option in the settings to permanently disable them if the animations are affecting the user interface performance. This is all done via the script.

I'm not sure how the XML format works. If it works like the JSON format, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Of course, I could also create a separate file and save a JSON object in it. However, I think it would be cleaner if I could use the existing GeneralSettings.xml file and simply add my custom settings at the end.

@Oli-Ullmann Yeah create a separate user settings for this. I believe there is an example in the snippet browser or in the docs.

All right, I'll take a look. Thanks for the tip! :-)
