GSettings best practice
Hi everyone, We were sitting around at the Boston summit today (me, vuntz, tedg, and pbor via IRC) noticing that we have a mix of people using /apps/gedit/ sort of paths and /org/gnome/evince/ sort of paths in GSettings. We all prefer /org/gnome/evince/ type of paths. Cheers ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

Hmpf, you should have spoken up earlier! ;-) This was very quickly discussed with on the list, and nobody answered then except Matthias: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2010-June/msg00097.html I was in favor of the org/gnome/something approach, but what would then happen to /desktop/ keys, which (as Matthias said in his reply) would be better kept separate? And what about the migration now that both schemes are in use? Regards ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

I think that org.gnome.desktop makes sense. And what about the migration now that both schemes are in use? Uhm, yes. :) I think they're just going to have to migrate. It should be a relatively straight forward transition. --Ted signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

One way or another, one group of app developers will be burned here. At the same time, gsettings - gsettings migration sounds like a particularly horrible proposition. I'm sorry, and I'm open to suggestions. :) Cheers ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

I feel the current compromise about this that we see in DBus bus names is about the right balance for schema names. Paths should probably always be all-lowercase. Keys must be.

+1 for just picking a policy. I suspect no-one really cares what the policy is, as long as there is one. Please pick one and make it official by documenting it somewhere prominent!
