r500 : Settings saved in GConf
February 24, 2008
Hi,
Gnome Scan hit revision 500 with a brand new feature : automatic per app settings saving in GConf. To get this properly done, i had to hunt ref/unref bug (r499). This mean that gnome-scan is cleaner while having one more feature.
Options are stored as /apps/gnome-scan/%app%/%option% . I’m wondering which key would be better. If ever you have an idea, check out the discussion at desktop-devel-list and post your answer. I may write schemas to gconf, but that’s pretty useless. I could also use this feature to store window size and position, and add further behaviour that need to be disablable like a popup notifying user to remove their sheet back from the flatbed scanner, etc.
I hope to provide 0.5.92 tomorow along Gnome 2.21.92.
Regards,
Étienne.
