Description

In BR #35 (GUI profiles), we have specified three major classes of settings we'd like to store:

  • GUI Profile Settings
    - Stored globally within the core
    - Everything "session-like" that might apply to several clients. Buffer settings and visibility, views, buffer/query names, etc.
  • Core Connection Profile Settings
    - Everything that applys to the local client only, but might differ across different core connections.
    - Core connection settings (host, user, pw)
    - GUI-specific stuff - window sizes and positions
  • General GUI Settings
    - Fonts, styles...

In order to more easily handle these kinds of settings (Global is a mess right now, for local stuff we use QSettings, but it's also a mess to keep that consistent everywhere...), we will implement a Settings infrastructure that should make it much easier.

First step is already done: We have an interface for storing and retrieving session-wide data. This (and QSettings) will be the foundation for the Settings class hierarchy.

History

#1 Updated by Sputnick over 16 years ago

Basics are in place, Global is gone. More subclasses within the Settings hierarchy will be added as needed and on-the-fly.
