I was looking at <http://crbug.com/19061>, which is a bug Tony filed to merge the Local State and Preferences files. Both files hold user preferences, but the idea is that Local State holds prefs that are common to all user profiles, and Preferences is unique to each user (thus it is in the Default/ user profile directory). We don't actually support using multiple user profiles though, it seems. The win for combining them is to remove another file read on startup. Also, the distinction is confusing and some stuff is arguably in the wrong place (e.g. browser window dimensions are in Local State). However, the loss is that we will lose the ability to have multiple user profiles in one user data directory (don't know what our plans are for this, if any).
This patch is pretty large so I'd like some feedback before starting it. -- Evan Stade --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
