loadSetting()

Function to load the value of a specific setting that has previously been saved to the settings file.

Note:

All scripts use the same settings file. Because of this, settings can be shared by multiple scripts. Make sure to assign unique setting names when settings are to be unique for a script.
I have tested this function with all levels of User Account Control on windows 7 and I found no problems. If you do find a problem with writing files, please contact me.

Usage

To read a setting for the opened project:

var setting = loadSetting('mysetting', 'project');

To read a system wide setting:

var setting = loadSetting('mysetting',  'global');
