Object.LocalStorage and Gadget Creation

Is Object.LocalStorage supposed to work?

Sunday, September 4, 2005 by rabidrobot | Discussion: DesktopX

I recently tried to export a widget, which uses Object.LocalStorage() to save a couple settings between executions, as a gadget.

I found that the gadget did not save the settings between executions, although the widget works fine.

Is Object.LocalStorage() supposed to work with gadgets, and does not, or is this intended?

I think I can work around by defining some hidden Widget.Preference values (Widget.Preferences settings are saved between executions), but thought I would ask about this as it seems strange.

Funny you should mention this, since I just ran into the same problem! I think I can work around it the same way you did/tried, but it should probably be addressed, since I doubt its supposed to work that way. Next time I spot you on IRC, we'll compare notes on the problem. Rest assured, you're not the only one with the problem!
