[Closed] Collect all settings from Renderdialog Common tab

So here’s the thing.

I want to collect all render related settings of a scene.
Being a big fan of getPropnames to collect all settings and values of a maxObject,
I use that to store the values of those props.

For instance, I use

PropValue = for p in PropNames collect (getProperty RC p)

to collect of settings of renderers.current (RC) and store them in a struct

but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to collect all settings from the common tab.
There doesn’t appear to be a maxObject for that one like there is for renderers.current.
So for now it looks like i have to store all those settings ‘manualy’ but I hope one of you can prove me wrong.

I tried using a struct in a stuct to just store the settings I REALLY need, but to read them back out in the same loop
as the other stuff makes the script fail.

what I want to acclompish it to store all those rendersettings, then do stuff to the scene, then restore to the original starting point.

here’s the code (snippet) I have so far to collect the rendersettings I need:

(
	clearListener()
	local settingsDataArr = #()
	RC = renderers.current
	struct renderSettings (width, height, aspect, outputFile, saveFile)

	local sunLight = (getclassinstances VRaySun)[1]
	local domeLight = (for l in lights where classof l == vraylight and l.type == 1 collect l)[1]

	fn storeSettings = (
		commonSettings = renderSettings width:renderwidth height:renderheight aspect:(GetRendImageAspect()) outputFile:"" saveFile:false

		local thePresets = #(sunLight, domeLight, commonSettings)

		struct data (item, settings, values)

		for i = 1 to thePresets.count do (
			d=data()
			d.item = thePresets[i]
				format "%\n" d.item
			d.settings = (getPropNames thePresets[i])
			d.values = (for p in (getPropNames thePresets[i]) collect (getProperty thePresets[i] p))
				format "\tsettings:% | value:%\n" d.settings d.values
			append settingsDataArr d
		)
	)

	fn restoreSettings = (
		for i in settingsDataArr do (
			format "%\n" i.item
			for p = 1 to i.settings.count do (
				format "\tsettings:% | value:%\n" i.settings[p] i.values[p]
				setProperty i.item i.settings[p] i.values[p]
			)
		)
		
	)
    storeSettings()
    --getPropnames settingsDataArr[3].settings #height
    --sunLight.enabled = false
    --restoreSettings()
)
