[SailfishDevel] Saving state/config

[Jonni Rainisto]

Hi,

Yes its as simple as assign a new value and it will be automaticly stored.

your_foo_setting.value = newValue

But having said that, I'm not sure what is the store's current intake QA rules, it might be that configuration plugin is not whitelisted yet. So you might need to use QSettings if you want to be in store. For devel projects that plugin is easy and lightweight to use.

Thanks Jonni, just the simple approach I needed :)

I only started on using QML the other night, so not clear on how it works. Am
I right to assume that I can then access that setting by id to set a new value
which will be saved automatically?

Like:

    your_foo_setting.setValue(newValue);
