Comment (by leavengood):
+1 to this idea.
While the simple version is decent, it also might be nice to create a
BPreferences class which may just wrap BMessage but can provide some nicer
semantics. I know quite a few applications within Haiku's repo have
already done that, like ShowImage:
http://cgit.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/apps/showimage/ShowImageSettings.cpp
The above makes it such that a default value can be provided when calling
for a setting, and that will be returned if the setting was not stored in
the settings file. Though I'm not sure if that is better than having all
the default values defined in one place. Then of course this leads to
whether we should try to mimic the OS X defaults system. I don't know that
system well enough to know if it is worth emulating.
