how to fix/force Warnattachment settings? about warnattachment

[jdede]

Right now, the settings are implemented as described in the corresponding tutorials which is this app-specific storage. Using the one in the about:config seems to require additional code (and knowledge).

Hm, the settings are stored in a normal txt-file / the about:configwhich can bed edited by the user. So a bullet-proof solution is not possible, at least not straightforward.
An easy solution would be to allow disabling the settings dialogue by adding a boolean value in the about:config view. So the barrier is a little bit higher.

that would be a good solution so may i could force the value/setting and user is not able to change it

maybe but also just maybe :) would it be possible to store the settings for all 4 settings of WarnAttachement in about:config as well?

Hm, the standard way of storing the settings is the app-specific local storage. This one offers a nice API and is also explained in the docs. I think it quite a lot of work to change it.

Also tried to find the settings and it seems not to be that easy.

Maybe blocking with a password would be the easier way. Will think about it.

Thank you, dont put too much effort in it. i guess its not really needed for the default home user

Hi,
I know that it could be complicated to change the way your plugin saves the settings, but I would like to add that a centralized configuration option would be great 🙂.
I your plugin could be configured by about:config it would be possible to deploy settings to all users. This would be interesting for companies.

Hmm, should work as here: https://github.com/TB-throwback/LookOut-fix-version
Does anybody of you have time to implement?

To be honest, I have no clue how this could be done with the new system of saving settings in the app-specific storage... 🤔
