Many thanks; actually the current mechanism works quite well, a very small improvement would be fairly sufficient in our opinion. For your information, this is how we proceed when loading addons in XXE in order to package it for our end-users: (afterwards, they can still install addons of their own if they need to) 1. Set the addon installation location to be the XXE distribution directory (requires the appropriate write permissions). 2. Download/install the selected addons 3. Reset the addons installation location to the default one 4. Exit XXE We had in mind the exact same behavior for preferences: 1. Switch the preferences saving option to "Shared preferences" / "Global preferences" whatever you call it. This requires appropriate write permission to XXE installation directory. 2. Set whatever global/shared preferences are needed 3. Switch back the preferences saving option to "Personal"/"Local" 4. Exit XXE Just reading a preference file from XXE distribution upon startup (no need give end-users any control on this file's name) before applying the current loading scheme would then be sufficient to obtain the desired effect. Anyway, this is just a suggestion there might be others, more sophisticated, mechanisms but this simple one would completely suit us. Many thanks for your excellent support.
