Programmatically changing settings values

Hey everyone,

I would like to change some of the environment settings by code,
specifically I would like to change the default compiler, from the
menu you would do: World Menu >> System >> Settings >> Compiler >>
Default Compiler , and then set you preference there. How can you do
that programmatically?

Thanks in advance!,
Pablo

Yes!

The gobal compiler can be changed by

Re: Programmatically changing settings values

Or to teach you how to fish rather than just feeding you :)

Right click on the option and select "Display export action string".

Actually, that has some StartupAction scaffolding probably not relevant is such cases, and it would be good to have an option for that.

I'd like to change it from

Right-click on setting

> Display export action string

to this...

Right-click on setting

> Set programatically

> Display Workspace string

> Display StartupAction string

any objections?
