This is one area I am having issues. I'm new enough to Rev that I
didn't realize fields on my Preferece Page (DB IP Address, DB Name, etc.)
wouldn't be remembered between sessions when I make a Standalone!
Can I take what the user enters in the fields for their Preferences
(database's IP Address, DB Name, etc.) and then assign them to a Custom
Property before they exit the standalone. Will that keep the data?
OR, do I have to store that in a "prefs" text file and just parse it
at runtime? What do others do?
Best of both: use properties in a stack file for the convenience of not
having to parse data, but just store that stack file separate from the
application.
Ordinarily prefs files are stored in specialFolderPath("preferences") on
OS X and specialFolderPath(26) on Windows.
