No, I don't completely agree with this idea.
A better approach is modifying fm_app_config_get_config_for_path() to make
it more generic. So it can return a GKeyFile instance or something similar
instead of hard-coded argument list.Then, this can be put in libfm core.
By making this generic, any GUI implementor can read/write some config
values associated with the folder easily. Libfm does not need to know the
meaning of the key-value pairs. It just provides APIs to access them.
How to interpret the values is the job of pcmanfm and pcmanfm-qt.
The APIs may looks like the following:
FmFolderConfig* fm_path_dup_folder_config(FmPath* path);
char* fm_folder_config_get_value(FmFolderConfig*, const char* key);
void fm_folder_config_set_value(FmFolderConfig*, const char* key, const
char* value);
void fm_folder_config_save(FmFolderConfig* config);
void fm_folder_config_ref(FmFolderConfig* config);
void fm_folder_config_unref(FmFolderConfig* config);
FmFolderConfig is a key-value dictionary object representing folder
specific config values. Implementors of the GUIs can use this object to
access folder-specific config values by keys they defined.
Inside FmFolderConfig, this can be implemented easily using GKeyFile.
This is more extensible and flexible. Also, the APIs are still useful
outside pcmanfm.
