Hi all, Regarding the new file format, I haven't really decided if we're gonna put launcher configuration in the data file, or store it as configuration in gconf. This seems to be an either/or decision, and there are pros and cons with both approaches:
Storing the launchers (both type-wide and custom) in the datafile is convenient when moving the account file to a different computer, as you'll instantly have access to your old launchers. However, the new computer may be running different software, or it may be a file shared by many users, some of which use GNOME and some which use KDE (for example). It is also very easy to back up your launchers, just take a backup of the account file. Storing them in gconf seems more "right" as this is configuration data (will be different for various computers and users). However, consider you have set up custom launchers on a whole bunch of accounts, and then open the file on a different computer - you'll have to recreate all the custom launchers there, or migrate the gconf configuration which is a real pain. I'm leaning towards storing it in gconf, but would like some feedback from you all. -- Erik Grinaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://erikg.codepoet.no/ "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about." -- Albert Einstein
