gimp permanent data AND parasiterc

Hi,

I need to store, let's say, my plug-in configuration:

(1) ¿Is there any way to store data (similarly to gimp_set_data, for example) so that gimp loads it automatically at start? I don't mean using parasites stored in an XCF file.

If not, ¿Should I use for this purpose any of the rc files in "$HOME/.gimp-2.4" to store this data, or It's just better to create my own file instead?

(2) ¿What's the parasiterc file used for?

Thanks in advance.

You can set a persistent global parasite using gimp_parasite_attach().

That's an alternative way of doing it. Do whatever you prefer. If you want to create your own file, please make sure that it is named after your plug-in. And consider to use GKeyFile for writing and loading it.

It is used to store persistent global parasites.
