Package:: stx:libbasic

Category:: System-Support

Version:: rev: 1.581 date: 2024/04/25 12:21:14; user: alkurz; file: UserPreferences.st directory: libbasic; module: stx stc-classLibrary: libbasic

Description:

A Dictionary for user preference values.
For non-existing keys, either a defaultValue (false),
or the value from a defaultDictionary is returned.

This will eventually keep track of ALL user preferences.
For now, not all preferences are found here -
(some of them are currently spread over the system - especially, in Class-Variables)
- but this will change over time.

If more prefs are added, think about adding a corresponding UI to the SystemSettingsDialog too.

Notice, that ST/X is intended to be multi-user capable, supporting multiple users on multiple screens.
This is effectively used by (at least) 2 ST/X customers we are aware of (for multi-screen applications).
So do not break it, by putting user-specific stuff into class variables.

Usage:
    UserPreferences current at:#foo
or
    UserPreferences current at:#foo put:something
