[Development] QML Settings

[Federico Buti]

Hi Dominik.

No, the documentation is pretty clear about that: alias inside the
Settings. That's why I've linked it.
As for the error, that's because the documentation example aliases
"x"...but Settings has its own "x", obviously! I just got it few minutes
after I have sent the mail. Trivial error.

Anyhow, your approach is logical and does make perfectly sense. I'm going
to test it and report back.

Thanks for your time!
F.

Unfortunately, each time the app is restarted no value is fetched from the settings, i.e. a sad "qml: " is printed to the console. What am I missing? Where is the error?
