Getting the value of MAC OSX General settings/preferences.

CarLoowwww

Is there any way to get the value from the MAC OSX general settings? For example i want to get the settings of how many recent files should appear on my Qt Application?

Tried to look for the plist of the settings but, the apple.generalsettings.plist is not giving me the data that i want to get.

auto sl = LSSharedFileListCreate( 0, kLSSharedFileListRecentDocumentItems, 0 );
auto vref = LSSharedFileListCopyProperty( sl, kLSSharedFileListRecentItemsMaxAmount );
int64_t v = 0;
if ( CFGetTypeID( vref ) == CFNumberGetTypeID() )
	CFNumberGetValue( (CFNumberRef)vref, kCFNumberSInt64Type, &v );

CFRelease appropriately...
