Help writing screenlets?

[mots]

Hi, I'm trying to write my first screenlet, but I have some problems:
1. Why do I get empty strings/tuples from the print-commands at line 36/37? How do I get it to print the info I entered?
2. Is there sth like FileOption but for directories?

Yeah I know the code is a mess, I know that I imported lots of unused things, and there might be spelling/grammar mistakes. This isn't the kind of code I'd normally post on a public board, but as theres no way of contacting RYX using an IM, this seems to be the only possible solution...

Hi!

It prints an empty value because your vars account, categories and downloaddir are all empty :)

While you are inside the constructor the settings haven't been applied yet and all values contain the defaults you set in the class. The next version will include an on_init-function which gets called after all settings have been loaded.

(You could send me private e-mails, but I think it is better to have questions about screenlets development being answered in public so everyone can benefit from it ...)

Concerning the FileOption for directories - I'll have a look at it, it can't be difficult to add (either to FileOption or as new class) and would be a useful improvement.
