patch to enable load/save of settings to a file in ~/.pitivi/ (6.55 KB, patch)

Description Tommy 2007-11-22 05:19:47 UTC 
I quickly wrote a patch for the settings object which allows it to load settings from a file, and write them back to the file on shutdown.

It uses python's standard ConfigParser module, making a file which is easily modifiable by hand.

I didn't put anything in place to handle plugin settings but it'd be straightforward to do.

patch to enable load/save of settings to a file in ~/.pitivi/

filename is currently hardcoded to "pitivi.conf", section name for general settings is "pitivi-main"
Comment 2 Elisée Maurer 2008-10-29 22:32:15 UTC 
I think PiTiVi might want to follow xdg base directory specification ( http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html ) for storing settings. It's trivial to implement and help users keep a clean home directory.

I'm starting a configuration branch based on these changes (but heavily modified at this point).
