O.P. Settings Manager

Is it possible to make a script that can list (or enumerate, whatever

) the sub-keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Scripts key? (I guess listing the folders in the Scripts folder would give me the information I need to read settings in most cases)

I'm planning to make each scripts settings editable from a single window

If it's possible, i'm hoping to make it support settings saved in files too...

Thankyou! lol That seems to easy though

EDIT: HKEY_CURRENT_USER is undefined

I'll see if I can find out an alternative keyword. Also, is there a way to navigate one key up from the MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath rather than using a string value as they may have installed to a different location

Of course cause I made the registry script makes it really easy. I updated the code because I realized its GlobalSettings not Global Settings.

The location of the registry keys will not change.

Make sure to extract _registry.js to your script folder and resave the script so it detects the module. (Or logout and relog back in.)

Welcome,

Just a reminder, most scripts store their values in memory so changing the registry values will not make any changes.

Don't forget to rep *cough cough*.

lol. As for the settings being stored in memory, I'm just making this so that users can edit settings from one place. The script would most likely need to be restarted for the changes to take effect

EDIT: btw, having trouble with the EnumRegValues returning undefined

Hmmm... the code works fine, except for when trying to read the values from the Settings keys. It can read if the script is enabled or not, but it can't move onto the next level and check the scripts settings without making WLM crash... Any ideas?

EDIT: In some cases it will read settings from the first script it comes across... and then quit.
