[Geary] Geary layout

[Jim Nelson]

Oh, I see.  I wasn't putting the pieces together.

Yes, you need to add your new GSettings setting to the XML file.  When Geary runs, that XML is used by GSettings itself.  GSettings is not like GConf or the Windows Registry, which are free-form stores.  GSettings requires a schema and enforces it on every access.

So, no, I think that should do it!

Ok, I played around with a few things and noticed that after reverting any changes of the file "desktop/org.yorba.geary.gschema.xml" and rebuilding geary it does actually start.

But I need an extra entry in the settings for the layout so I added this to the file:
    <key name="classic_layout" type="b">
        <default>true</default>
        <summary>enable classic layout</summary>
        <description>True to display classic layout.</description>
    </key>

These 5 lines seem to produce the problem. Is there anything else I must do if I want to update the settings?

Best wishes,

Could you run Geary like this from your build directory: 

$ ./geary --debug 

and tell us what you're seeing?

Hello Jim, 

I was a little busy the last week but yesterday evening I pulled the updated sources and ran the commands you mentioned. 

The –disable-schemas-compile option was not used. 

I’m still not able to start geary. Is there a command to update the schema in dconf with the new one? 

Best wishes, 

Martin

You should be able to simply update the desktop/org.yorba.geary.gschema.xml file and see them available when you run Geary from the build directory.  We do some trickery in Geary to compile the updated schema and have GSettings look in the compiled directory for them. 

If not, re-run ./configure and rebuild.  In particular, be sure you *don't* use the --disable-schemas-compile option.

Hi Adam, 

I'm implementing the classic layout but I have a problem with the settings. 
I changed the settings schema to include my classic-layout option but I 
don't find a way to install the changed schema-file. 

This is the error I get while starting the compiled geary: 
(geary:8994): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.yorba.geary' is 
not installed 

Can you help me with this problem? 

Thx in advance, 
Martin
