Array read/write support in qt_gui_cpp::Settings?

[martonmiklos]

Hello @dirk-thomas

I have came across an use case in an rqt plugin where I needed to save/restore a small but array like data and I have realized that the QSettings like begin{Read/Write}Array functions are not exposed through the qt_gui_cpp::Settings.

By peeking to the source I have seen that there might have been to implement them in the past:
https://github.com/ros-visualization/qt_gui_core/blob/kinetic-devel/qt_gui_cpp/include/qt_gui_cpp/settings.h#L56

Were there any specific reason why these methods have not been implemented?

Many thanks for your answer in advance!

I am sorry for the late response. I don't know any reason why it wasn't implemented in the past - maybe it just wasn't needed.

If you are interested in this feature it would be great if you could consider contributing support for this (not sure if the commented API is the best way to go though).
