I'm looking to start work on implementing the first lot of preferences into Openshot. There seems to be 2 ways to go - either use GCONF, or follow the freedesktop.org recommendation and use a config file in ~/.config/openshot, with XDG being able to pick up the location of the settings file.
I've seen it mentioned a few times that GCONF should only ever be used for user preferences, not for application state type settings (e.g. window size, last used folders etc.), as there is no guarantee that the GCONF location will be writable on a users machine (it could be locked down). Given that we will probably want to keep track of some application state settings I propose we go down the ~/.config route. A number of other applications use this method already. TJ - Are there any packaging implications if we use this method? Cheers, Andy.
