Abstract
A computer-implemented method for maintaining settings for multiple applications. The method may include identifying a request to retrieve a parameter of a setting of a first application. The request may identify a first location of the parameter. The method may also include retrieving the parameter from a second location and providing the parameter to the first application in response to the request. Other methods may include identifying a change to a first parameter of a setting of a first application. The method may reformat the first parameter, creating a second parameter formatted for a second application. The second parameter may be stored in a second location associated with the setting of the second application. A second application may request and access the second parameter. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
