Re: [orca-list] Proposal: Eliminate the "gui setup" command line options

[Paul Hunt <paul-leics virginmedia com>]

Hi,

So Orca -s

makes Orca enter setup even if a settings directory exists.

It's useful if you change something in the Orca preferences which then 
makes it difficult for you to go back into the preferences and reverse 
it. For example, if you change to a different synth that then refuses to 
work.

You can always delete your settings directory but running orca -s is easier.

I suppose you can still run text setup though.

As far as I remember, the main use of the --no-setup option was to 
enable Orca to be started in enviroments where no user settings folder 
would exist. Like on the login screen. If this is no longer necessary 
then I see no reason why not to scrap that option. Or am I completely 
wrong on that one? I never really looked into how accessible login works.

As an aside, I think an easy way to make Orca revert to some "factory" 
settings might be useful as a recovery option.
