[Qgis-developer] Saving plugin's user data/settings

[Alexandre Neto]

Hello all,

At a plugin project we have, a metadata editor, we save user recent files
and a contact list as json files in a folder, inside the plugin folder. It
works ok, until we update or reinstall the plugin, that wipes that
information.

Can someone provide information on how to (or where to) save plugin's user
data (like settings, last used files, etc...), so it doesn't vanish on
plugin updates or re-instalation?

I found this:
http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/settings.html

But not sure if we can use it for what we need.

Thanks,

Alexandre Neto
