Hi everyone,
I've been spending several days working on the migration from GConf to
GSettings/DConf in our project evolution EAS, in order to store accounts of
uncertain number. But I've encountered some problems and I think GSettings
might not be the right direction. Do you have any suggestions? Here are the
methods I've figured out:
1. Use relocatable schemas. In this case, we have one schema being
relocatable, and multiple instance of that schema so we can store accounts
of uncertain number. But the question is that the instances are separated
and there seems no API to control them as a whole, which means we lost the
structure information and make things harder in our project.
2. Use child in schema. In this case, we have one controller schema and
some children schemas as separate accounts. We can maintain the structure
information, but the question is that we can't define children with
uncertain number since the name of the child must be defined one to one.
3. Use array of strings as the type of the key. In this case we have only
one key named account-info and it consists of uncertain number of strings,
which can save account information. The structure seems like this:
<key name="account-info" type="as">
Content: {{"email:[email protected];username:example;serverUri:
example.eas.com"}, {"email:[email protected];username:test;serverUri:
test.eas.com"}, {NULL}}
However, this method still have some inconvenience: we can't search
information under exact one account using gsettings because the key here is
"account-info", not the real account email address. This means every time
we need to change one account or search for one account, we have to read
the whole accounts information and then get the one we need. That will be
inefficient
I don't have the perfect solution yet, so I'm here to see if anyone could
help me. It will be very great if someone know the best way to do that.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Oliver
