Those preferences are stored in different places depending on their impact. But \f(CW\*(C`Padre::Config\*(C'\fR allows one to access them with a unified \s-1API\s0 (a mutator). Only their declaration differs in the module. .PP Here are the various types of settings that \f(CW\*(C`Padre::Config\*(C'\fR can manage: .IP "\(bu" 4 User settings .Sp Those settings are general settings that relates to user preferences. They range from general user interface \fIlook & feel\fR (whether to show the line numbers, etc.) to editor preferences (tab width, etc.) and other personal settings. .Sp Those settings are stored in a \s-1YAML\s0 file, and accessed with \f(CW\*(C`Padre::Config::Human\*(C'\fR. .IP "\(bu" 4 Host settings .Sp Those preferences are related to the host on which Padre is run. The principal example of those settings are window appearance. .Sp Those settings are stored in a \s-1DB\s0 file, and accessed with \f(CW\*(C`Padre::Config::Host\*(C'\fR. .IP "\(bu" 4 Project settings .Sp Those preferences are related to the project of the file you are currently editing. Examples of those settings are whether to use tabs or spaces, etc. .Sp Those settings are accessed with \f(CW\*(C`Padre::Config::Project\*(C'\fR. .SH "ADDING CONFIGURATION OPTIONS" .IX Header "ADDING CONFIGURATION OPTIONS" Add a \*(L"\fIsetting()\fR\*(R" \- call to the correct section of this file. .PP The \fIsetting()\fR call initially creates the option and defines some metadata like the type of the option, it's living place and the default value which should be used until the user configures a own value. .SH "COPYRIGHT & LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT & LICENSE" Copyright 2008\-2012 The Padre development team as listed in Padre.pm. .PP This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl 5 itself.
