* Howto save and use setting from within a plugin?

[JoopvB]

I have a few plugins that may be of interest for Dutch users. One of them parses data from often used websites and uses the result to fill the (meta) fields of a source.

To make the plugin usable for others I need to provide a mapping from the parsed data to 'their' (meta) fields. Hence my question: what would be an easy way (I don't want to go into iup, that's one step to far for me) of providing the user with a kind of preference/settings plugin to set these mappings and make them available to the other plugins to use them when relevant.

Have a look at the functions saveOption, loadOptions and resetOptions in fhutils for loading/saving etc.

Also look at getParam in fhUtils, which uses iup but insulates you from it.
