Bug ID: 441573 Summary: Kid3 should separate state config from settings config Product: kid3 Version: 3.8.x Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: uflei...@users.sourceforge.net Reporter: till2.schae...@uni-dortmund.de Target Milestone: --- Currently kid3 saves the application settings together with the application state (e.g. recently opened files/directories) in a single configuration file (~/.config/kid3rc here). This causes the configurations to change frequently and make it hard to compare them, which is an issue when synchronizing settings, e.g. in a dotfile repository. Therefore, I propose to separate application setting from application state. KConfig also provides a mechanism for this: KSharedConfig::openStateConfig (see https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kconfig/html/classKSharedConfig.html#a5dcfbe60478f169753342d37212c1b58 ) Observed states in kid3rc so far: * Group Recent Files * Group MainWindow Operating System: Gentoo Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.13.12-gentoo (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 4600 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
