It seems that you create your own xcs file from scratch and store it in a custom location. I think that in my case, I will need to find a way to make it cross platform and environment independent.

I added a "Places" (bookmarks) list on the left and I would like to save the entries that the user bookmarked . Cedric Bosdonnat told me to look at xcu and xcs files, but I'm a bit lost. I'm looking for a code sample where user's persistent configuration is manipulated (read and written) and/or anything that can be usefull, like search keywords, links to old threads in the mailing list, which would help me to identify some good practices (naming conventions, for instance).
