[orca-list] Plugin system gsettings Migration



Howdy List,

Nope i did not give up on bring a plugin system to orca. I was very bussy the last couple of weeks but i need a project for christmas vocation ;).

I‘m currently looking for an concept to move the  Settings storage from the JSON like file to gsettings. Well i never used gsettings til now. Its very laborious to handle. You need to create a XML scheme for each setting you have (and xml is IMO not very human friendly lol) but anyway. I stuck having another Problem.  Orca supports „per Application configuration“. So you van have a set of different settings per application. Seems there is no „nice“ way to handle this in gsettings but creating lists in lists (what would make it awful to handle in dconf (as well later in our new more generic preferences dialog) and programming, and loose many of gsettings benefits AFAIK) or copy schemes on the fly as new copy on filesystem (not sure if this is possible)

Seems gnome-terminal had an similar issue:
What never got really solved but worked arround by nesting lists everywhere.

So before i start something stupid or ugly, maybe someone here has experience with that? Or maybe an good idea? What do you think?

Cheers chrys
