Storing and presenting user preferences

[Bryan Fordney]

I would like to make some user preferences that affect my various scripts.  Is there a recommendation of where to store user-specific preferences?

 

And is there any built-in way to present these preferences as configurable in the UI somewhere, aside from making an action or widget?

 

Thank you.

Hi @Bryan Fordney if you are using actions and events (hence you are in python land), I'd suggest using the appdirs module.
We use the same to store connect and other plugin credentials, here an example.

 

Hope it helps.
