Re: [Geary] file where program preferences are saved?

[Niels De Graef <nielsdegraef gmail com>]

Hey Federico!

For the record: we didn't rename the geary-autostart.desktop.in file, as

that wasn't necessary (if you want to know, we create/remove the autostart file

in '~/.config/autostart/' at runtime based on the aforementioned preference).

To be honest, your situation reminds me a bit of the (unfinished) patch in

bug 775956 (making a Geary DBus-activatable), in which we *did* have to modify

the geary-autostart file.

Could you please run the following command and check if it returns any results?

$ ls /usr/share/dbus-1/services | fgrep 'org.gnome.Geary'

If so, please delete that file and make sure you have the latest master

installed.

If that didn't solve your problem, don't hesitate to reply so we can look

further into this together. I 'm also available most of the time on

irc.gnome.org in the #geary channel, if you prefer that.

Kind regards,

Niels

P.S. thank you for taking your time to test and translate Geary!

BTW, the impression is confirmed. I see that after closing Geary, the process stays active, even if "always watch for new mail" is unchecked. In fact geary is called without arguments: $ ps aux | grep geary fede 6646 24.7 3.3 3507672 273676 tty2 SLl+ 13:44 0:08 geary I'm running a self-compiled version on Fedora: $ geary --version geary master~g5ab6f42 Il giorno mer 31 mag 2017 alle 12:51, Federico Bruni <fede inventati org> ha scritto:

Hi all I know that the settings files are organized this way: - ~/.config/geary contains the .ini files which define the email settings for each account - ~/.local/share/geary contains database and attachments for each account What about the settings defined in the Preferences (which are valid for every account)? There's a file somewhere where these settings are stored? I'm asking this question because I have the impression that on my desktop computer Geary is always checking for new mail, even if the relevant preference is not checked. Thanks in advance Federico
