RamSettings

Gets and saves settings used by Ramses.

One (and only one) instance globally available (RamSettings is a singleton), by calling RamSettings.instance() or Ramses.instance().settings().

To get a setting, just get the corresponding attribute.

To change a setting temporarily, just set the corresponding attribute. If you want the change to be permanent (i.e. keep the setting for the next sessions), call the save() method.

By default, settings are saved in a ramses_addons_settings.json file, in the user’s OS specific settings folder:
