Creating a config file for a panel

[dasfaker]

Hi Atom

I’m forced to ask you as I’m unable to understand the file object.

I want to create a config file to store some variables that will be read when the panel is opened. So I want to access to the panel’s path and create the file there. What I cannot solve is how to create the file with the panel’s path, it must be easy but I don’t get it.

Thx in advance.

the best way is to store your config in the OS defined place, don’t be smarter then the OS, to get a MyPanel.ini in a cross platform place do:
[code:wx624ovv]
configFile = File("").getSpecialLocation(File.userApplicationDataDirectory):getChildFile(_strj("MyPanel.ini"))
[/code:wx624ovv]

What’s _strj? It gives an error.

Ah it might not be there yet try: toJuceString()

[dasfaker]

attempt to call global ‘toJuceString’ (a nil value)

[atom]

Allright then just type String("MyPanel.ini") that will work 100%

[dasfaker]

Yeah, its working now.

Dzięki.
