    Can I access UmbracoSettings from my code in 6.1.6?

    Extending Umbraco

    I'm trying to create a custom MediaFileSystem for a site using Umbraco 6.1.6 and trying to base my code on the existing class as a starting point.

    The problem I am running into is that there are references to UmbracoSettings in the class:

                public string GetRelativePath(int propertyId, string fileName)
            {
                    var seperator = UmbracoSettings.UploadAllowDirectories
                            ? Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
                            : '-';

                    return propertyId.ToString() + seperator + fileName;
            }

    But UmbracoSettings appears to internal so I can't access it from my library.

    Is there another way of accessing data from umbracoSettings.config? It looks like there used to be an umbraco.UmbracoSettings but I can't find that either. Am I doing completely the wrong thing by even trying? If so, what should I be doing instead?

    Referencing all of the Umbraco dlls (I just have a class library in Visual Studio set up with the NuGet package UmbracoCms.Core added to it) I can do something like this:

    public class Class1
{
    public static void Test()
    {
        var x = umbraco.UmbracoSettings.AddTrailingSlash;
    }
}

    And I can access all other settings in the umbracoSettings.config.
    Yes, this is marked as obsolete, but still in the v7 codebase, so it won't go anywhere until at least v8.

    As I said on StackOverflow, you're probably better off using the Media Protect package or maybe you can use that and write a little bit of extra custom code to make it fit your needs.
