Hi all! I need some feedback about a couple of questions. I'm reorganizing the way in which orca store/load its preferences and i'm a little confused. In Orca there are a variable called 'userCustomizableSettings'. This var contains a list of orca.settings that a user can customize, so i understand that only this customizable settings should be stored in user-settings.py or gconf or whatever. Actually, user-settings.py are written like this (see inline comments): self._setupPreferencesDirs() # Write ~/.orca/user-settings.py #
# getting orca user-preferences dir and open the file
orcaDir = settings.userPrefsDir
prefs = open(os.path.join(orcaDir, "user-settings.py"), "w")
# here, orca writes into user-settings.py settings like:
# some imports, sets debugLevel, debugFile, etc ...
self._writePreferencesPreamble(prefs)
# i think real user-settings starts here
for key in settings.userCustomizableSettings:
value = self._getValueForKey(self.prefsDict, key)
if value != None:
prefs.writelines("orca.settings.%s = %s\n" % (key, value))
if self.keyBindingsTreeModel: self._writeKeyBindingsMap(prefs, self.keyBindingsTreeModel) if self.pronunciationTreeModel:
self._writePronunciationMap(prefs, self.pronunciationTreeModel)
# real user-settings finishes here
# write some other things related with orca_state and closes user-settings.py
self._writePreferencesPostamble(prefs)
prefs.close()
I have planed to only store settings contained in 'settings.userCustomizableSettings' and store other configurations in a common place (ie: /usr/local/share/orca/config/...), and of course, delegate its writing into a common module or in 'settings_manager.py'. I don't sure if it is really necessary to store all things as actually is done and/or make additional imports each time user settings are loaded or reloaded. These things will provide a simplest way for managing orca user prefs and will be easier to write backends in the future, so, feedback will be gratefully.
