CAPI save settings/history/etc

Hi,

Is where a simple platform-independent way to save auxulary settings of
the CAPI applicaiton, like history of edit fields, window position and
size, etc?
Like how it is done in Qt: http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qsettings.html

Re: CAPI save settings/history/etc

See the docs on CAPI:TOP-LEVEL-INTERFACE-GEOMETRY-KEY and CAPI:TOP-LEVEL-iNTERFACE-SAVE-GEOMETRY-P

But, mind you, this is not exactly what I would call portable, except among LW apps on various architectures. I don’t think there are any portable standards out there, except by force of popularity, as with Qt. (shudder…)

Re: CAPI save settings/history/etc

Hi,

Thanks for pointing out where to look! With this reference I've found
what LispWorks already supports exactly what I was looking for:
