Disappointing …

Not “user friendly”. Who will the user blame when a glitch causes the settings not to be stored ?

@medeek You might think about writing to and reading from, your own json file.

require 'json'

# Where @options is a local Hash or OpenStruct instance object.

def save_options(filepath)
  json_str = JSON.generate(@options)
  File.open(filepath,"w:UTF-8:#{__ENCODING__}") {|io| io.write(json_str) }
rescue => e
  # Notify user there was an error saving options.
end

def retrieve_options(filepath)
  if File::exist?(filepath)
    json_str = File.read(filepath,"r:UTF-8:#{__ENCODING__}")
    @options = JSON.parse(json_str)
  else
    save_options(filepath)
  end
rescue => e
  # Notify user there was an error retrieving options.
end

Or, yaml or whatever works.
The Ruby standard library also has a PStore lib which is very similar to json.
