@Brian, unfortunately changes to unity-scopes-shell take considerably longer to land than changes to our bindings, so I can't promise it'll be available any sooner than 1, maybe 2 weeks.
My suggestion would be to implement a workaround in your JS code for the time being that checks for quotes either side of a settings value, then strips them out. At least this way, you can have your scope working ASAP, plus the change will be backward compatible even once the fix lands. Something like this: function unquote(str) { if (str[0] === '"' && str[str.length - 1] === '"') return str.slice(1, str.length - 1); return str; } then later: var setting = unquote(scopes.self.settings["location"].get_string()); -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1552082 Title: String settings with special characters become quoted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-js-scopes/+bug/1552082/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
