About bug http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=2532 Can we not just delete all the gconf importing/upgrading stuff in 3.0.x? Would people mind so much they loose some settings on a new GRAMPS version? Or at least delete it in trunk? Benny |

I thought we had already completely moved away from Gconf and were only using the ini file for saving settings. Am I mistaken? ~Brian |

Am I mistaken? I think we try to load gconf, if it exists, and then saves out as .ini. So, I think the proposal would be just to ignore gconf altogether in future versions. -Doug > ~Brian > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, > Nevada. > The future of the web can't happen without you.

So users who completely delete Gramps, or install after format, will, on install of GRAMPS always have gconf checked. We could leave that for version 3.0.x, but for 3.1.x I think we should remove this code, as it means we depend on gconf being read correctly, and the bug I mentioned indicates this does not always work as intended. Perhaps we can also delete it now in 3.0.x .... Benny |
