Saving a setting in Pharo

For my GSoC project I've been working on the rule toggle so I created a setting that bans a rule for the whole image.

But I'm thinking that some of you might want to disable a certain rule for all the following images too.

Hence my question: how to save a setting programatically so that the same setting would immediately work for the next image as well?

For now I only know how to do it manually but I need a more elegant way to do this:

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Myroslava.

Re: Saving a setting in Pharo

Why dont you use preferences (check the chapter in deep into pharo).

Preferences are managed across images.

Hey Stef,

Myroslava uses the preferences framework (as you can see in the screenshot). The question is how to programmatically persist a single preference (without the preference browser).

Hi Myroslava,

it should be possible by

SystemSettingsPersistence storeIdentifier: #settingId

Maybe the easiest way to pick your id is to look at the setting file. I do not remember how it is generated.

There are a few more methods, depending on what object you have in hand. Check storing protocol.

Juraj
