Description Damon Chaplin 2002-05-24 22:44:01 UTC 
The API documentation for gnome_program_init() should give more detail
about the app_id argument.

What is it used for? (Opening docs, apparently. Maybe other stuff)
What is a valid app_id? Are spaces OK? Should it be capitalized?


Also, check the attribute and module docs are comprehensive.
The code is horrible to read so good docs are essential for this.

Swapping doc keyword for API-doc.
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2004-03-25 13:56:35 UTC 
Federico, should this still be assigned to you or reassigned to module owner?
Comment 3 Brian Cameron 2006-09-01 23:43:36 UTC 
Can this go in?
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2006-10-23 12:38:28 UTC 
Can what go in? Nobody produced any docs to commit yet :-)
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2007-01-12 12:21:47 UTC 
The APP-ID is used at least for the following purposes:
- to find the programme's help files by gnome_help_*()
- to load the app-specific gtkrc file from ~/.gnome2/$(APPID)rc
- to load/save the app's accelerators map from ~/.gnome2/accelerators/$(APPID)
- to load/save a GnomeEntry's history from gconf /apps/gnome-settings/$(APPID)/history-$(ENTRYID)
Comment 6 Kjartan Maraas 2007-04-09 11:46:45 UTC 
I added those to the docs now.
