Signals
-------

.. _class_EditorSettings_settings_changed:

- **settings_changed** **(** **)**


Description
-----------

Object that holds the project-independent editor settings. These settings are generally visible in the Editor Settings menu.

Accessing the settings is done by using the regular :ref:`Object<class_object>` API, such as:

::

    settings.set(prop,value)
    settings.get(prop)
    list_of_settings = settings.get_property_list()

Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_EditorSettings_add_property_info:

- void **add_property_info** **(** :ref:`Dictionary<class_dictionary>` info **)**

Add a custom property info to a property. The dictionary must contain: name::ref:`String<class_string>`(the name of the property) and type::ref:`int<class_int>`(see TYPE\_\* in :ref:`@GlobalScope<class_@globalscope>`), and optionally hint::ref:`int<class_int>`(see PROPERTY_HINT\_\* in :ref:`@GlobalScope<class_@globalscope>`), hint_string::ref:`String<class_string>`.

Example:

::

    editor_settings.set("category/property_name", 0)
    
    var property_info = {
        "name": "category/property_name",
        "type": TYPE_INT,
        "hint": PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM,
        "hint_string": "one,two,three"
    }
    
    editor_settings.add_property_info(property_info)

.. _class_EditorSettings_erase:

- void **erase** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` property **)**

Erase a given setting (pass full property path).

.. _class_EditorSettings_get_favorite_dirs:

- :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_poolstringarray>` **get_favorite_dirs** **(** **)** const

Get the list of favorite directories for this project.

.. _class_EditorSettings_get_project_settings_dir:

- :ref:`String<class_string>` **get_project_settings_dir** **(** **)** const

Get the specific project settings path. Projects all have a unique sub-directory inside the settings path where project specific settings are saved.

.. _class_EditorSettings_get_settings_dir:

- :ref:`String<class_string>` **get_settings_dir** **(** **)** const

Get the global settings path for the engine. Inside this path you can find some standard paths such as:

settings/tmp - used for temporary storage of files

settings/templates - where export templates are located
