Great repo Sam - you've made my life much easier! The preferences fn also needs the eval in order to actually work ...

snwh commented 8 years ago

I'm glad it's useful for you. 😄 Why does it need this eval?

mpadge commented 8 years ago

eval is generally required to execute concatenated statements. Such statements ought not work without eval, yet obviously do so under some circumstances or you would have noticed. It certainly won't have any effect other than ensuring the function gets executed.

snwh commented 8 years ago

Mind looking for other instances where it would be a good idea to include eval?

mpadge commented 8 years ago

Sure, i'll get on to it as soon as i find some time. Next week sometime ...

snwh commented 8 years ago

Thanks, I'll merge it anyway.
