Description
-----------

Object that holds the project-independent editor settings. These settings are generally visible in the Editor Settings menu.

Accessing the settings is done by using the regular :ref:`Object<class_object>` API, such as:

::

    settings.set(prop,value)
    settings.get(prop)
    list_of_settings = settings.get_property_list()

Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_EditorSettings_add_property_info:

- void  **add_property_info**  **(** :ref:`Dictionary<class_dictionary>` info  **)**

Add a custom property info to a property. The dictionary must contain: name::ref:`String<class_string>`(the name of the property) and type::ref:`int<class_int>`(see TYPE\_\* in :ref:`@Global Scope<class_@global scope>`), and optionally hint::ref:`int<class_int>`(see PROPERTY_HINT\_\* in :ref:`@Global Scope<class_@global scope>`), hint_string::ref:`String<class_string>`.

Example:

::

    editor_settings.set("category/property_name", 0)
    
    var property_info = {
        "name": "category/property_name",
        "type": TYPE_INT,
        "hint": PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM,
        "hint_string": "one,two,three"

    editor_settings.add_property_info(property_info)
