Please remove line 63-65 `prefs.js`. Not needed. You can attach the settings to the `window` in to avoid garbage collecting before window close. So, instead of line 7 (`prefs.js`) you can do: ```js window._settings = this.getSettings(); const _settings = window._settings; ```

That does not work in typescript and breaks my builds.

I just extended the PreferencesWindow interface - hopefully thats fine.

What's the error? You can also use `window._settings` directly instead of creating another `_settings` as const. Just like the [prefs example](https://gjs.guide/extensions/development/preferences.html#prefs-js).

There is no `_settings` object on the Awd.PreferencesWindow object, according to my intellisense and the files i have for the Awd library. I had to extend the interface to include it in order to pass the ts build steps. But, it all builds now, and works fine (on my test machines) - so should be good :).
