The proposal to merge lp:~googol/openlp/central-settings-place into lp:openlp has been updated.
Description changed to: Hello, THERE is stil a problem with this branch. SEE the end of this description. - fixed bug #1096559 (Central place for default settings) I reworked the settings management. All core settings are now stored in the Settings class. The plugin settings are stored in the <my>plugin.py file. On start up the plugin settings are pulled in the central dict. I also implemented a central dict to store old and replaced settings. This allows us to rename settings without losing the value saved. This allows even renaming a setting with uses ints (0/1) to e. g. a setting using bools (false/true). Together with this rework I moved/splitted a few files. Namely, I have moved the ScreenList class from openlp/core/ui to openlp/core/lib. When you look at trunk you'll see that in most cases the ScreenList was the only class imported from ui (indicating that it does not belong to ui). And basically the ScreenList is just like the ImageManager. It does not really display anything. Furthermore, I splitted the ui.py file. Now we have a uistrings.py and ui.py file. While programming I noticed, that the UiStrings class does not require any module (other then the translate function). In both cases (ScreenList and UiStrings) they caused import errors because importing them triggered other imports pointing to openlp.ui.Whatever; which then triggered the import of openlp.core.ui(.__init__) . I hope that makes sense to you :) PROBLEM: In the SettingsManager we have "dynamic" settings. Something like this: (%s count). First I decided to allow to pass the default value in the value() method. This wasn't nice. But then I realised that this won't work. Because this will again not work with the settings/importer (the importer/export then does not know the default values). Then I looked at the SettingsManager class and currently I am thinking about removing it: - get_last_dir/set_last_dir will be converted to normal settings (e. g. songs/last_import_dir, songs/last_export_dir) - load_list/set_list is a bit problematic. We either say a) we just remove these settings (users have to import their images again) or b) add some code to convert the old way to the new way (but this probably cannot be done with my new settings_migrate method, because that is just too complex).
