perhaps looking at this on an ecore_config API level, rather than on a

We need generic list handling in ecore_config and it is something I have
pondered over much and never come to a satisfactory solution...
that is what I was on about too.. the append stuff is just a useful tool
for strings..
What I'm currently thinking about, is adding in a new type
ECORE_CONFIG_ARRAY with the data structure written to the eet like
%c\0%c\0[...]\0 where the first %c is ECORE_CONFIG_ARRAY, the next the
type of data contained (ECORE_CONFIG_STRING) and [...] the items of the
array packed together.. strings would be null-terminated and others
having a fixed width, not needing separators..
does that sound reasonable?
I have not gone thru the source of ecore_config yet, but at first I was
thinking more of maintaining the current way of making a list, say
/entrance/path/0/name
/entrance/path/1/name
...
for numbered list, as it already is previously for the hardcoded
sessions in entrance, the only difference is that the tools that update
this conf file have to do more work. Its up to the tool as well whether
we need/want "/entrance/path/count" or not.
Not to highlight that once we have numbered list, we might want to have
un-numbered list as well, maybe
/entrance/path/*/name
/entrance/path/*/name
again, the implementation is solely on the tools/api/ecore_config, no
changes to the conf file standard.
Just my initial thought.
