Get last image export settings?

[duke]

Sketchup seems to persist image export settings, such as width/height, file format, antialias. Is there a way I can grab these settings?

The registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\Preferences

Brilliant! Thanks

FYI... I have a bug issue logged that Sketchup::read_default() cannot return DWORD values.

Basically the method assumes anything you want to read was written with Sketchup::write_default(), which inspects objects into evaluatable strings before storing them.

So.. Sketchup::read_default() is stupid and always tries to run the stored values back through Ruby's eval() without Type checking. When a error occurs it seems the method's rescue block just returns nil.

So you'll need to use the WIN32OLE class ("win32ole.so" file,) and the Windows Scripting Host interface to read registry values.
