#2088 needs a way to set and get general settings for use by the backend. I have added that way of doing that in this PR, even though it is currently not used for anything.
In an ideal world, these general settings would also be defined by the backend. However, I don't want @stonerl to have to redo his whole PR more than he already has to. I'd much rather have him just adopt this system and we can move over stuff later.
If it's not clear, you would call
setGeneralBackendSetting
on the frontend to set a general setting, andfrom settings import get_global_settings
to get the method that gets the settings.
