I've see mailing list archives mention supporting Windows Registry, but can not find any mention in the docs for either of these libs. Is there support yet?

What I'm hoping to find is portable support for preferences on both Windows registry and Mac plists.

Thanks, Jeff

I don't know of any such feature in Boost but maybe Qt's QSettings [1] might be a viable alternative for you.

Sorry, That's what we're getting away from. Jeff

IIRC support was dropped when Boost.PropertyTree started to ship with the libraries. The old version in the Boost Vault (which had to be installed manually; see property_tree_rev5.zip at http://www.boostpro.com/vault/) includes the registry parser (although I assume it won't work out of the box with the current version of Boost.PropertyTree).

Thanks Boris, I'll take a look. Jeff
