Attached patch Do nothing if not using prefs (obsolete) — Splinter Review
When using inline settings, given a <setting type="menulist">, changing the setting causes an exception in the error console.

This is because the binding has a command event listener that calls valueToPreference unconditionally, even if there is no pref= attribute.

The attached patch adds a if (this.usePref) check in valueToPreference.

It might be better to change the event listener to an actual function that checks + calls valueToPreference instead (so random people can still call valueToPreference while ignoring usePref, similar to the other types of settings).  I'm happy to write that patch too; this was just the smaller change.

I'd rather the event listener in the constructor was changed to call inputChanged instead of valueToPreference. Same result, plus a bonus oninputchanged event fired.

Thanks for the speedy review! I wasn't sure if firing that event was wanted, but if that's actually a positive... :D

I think it was just an oversight on my part when I first did that bit.

My r+ doesn't carry any weight so back to Blair for a rubber stamp.
