Ok, so I'm writing a client.  zebjournal. Its in pre-alpha right now and I'll probably be in here asking for beta testers in a week or so. No beta testers yet please.
But I'm thinking where would the best place to store configuration information be? Should I save it to an XML file in the same folder as the client? Should I save it to the Windows Registry? Should I save it to the Application Data Folder? The Local Settings/Application Data Folder? Which one do you think would be best given that I need to store the following?
- basically the entire login response hashtable
- Usericons (pictures)
- Drafts and Downloaded Entries
- Application Preferences
ZebJournal is supposed to be a 'power-user' LJ client. It has a MDI , multiple journal, and multiple user support across any LJ based site. So the amount of data could get pretty big. Target Platform is Win2k/XP ... I'm not really too concerned with windows 9x, as it is being phased out anyway, and it cannot support alpha-blending which will be used in ZebJournal. No flames from win9x users please. |
