Hello all.
Now, I may be very stupid (hey, I heard that!) but I just can't seem to be able to get the list of magic texts to include the three System Setting entries – System, Global and Secure – when calling that list from the Set Variable dialogue. It seems to me that those entries appear in every other magic text list, called from every other dialogue, except from Set Variable, which is where it would be more useful to me.
For instance, I create an integer variable, I add a Set Variable action, then in the first dialogue I select the just-created variable, in the second dialogue I select the Expression option and in the third dialogue I press the […] button. A list of magic texts comes up which includes stopwatches, variables, Current Brightness, System time, etc., but no System Setting entry. The only way to assign a system setting to a variable that I can find is to copy that setting name from some other action's dialogue, after selecting it from that dialogue's magic text list, and then paste it into Set Variable. That works.
Any help appreciated.
