Some time this weekend, I pushed a fairly major set of changes to git master: - replacing gconf with GSettings - replacing the status icon plugin with a plugin that just does libnotify notifications - removing the visualizer plugin
While GSettings has some support for migrating existing configuration from gconf, I haven't actually written the conversion file that makes this happen. It looks like gsettings-data-convert isn't capable of doing the value transformations required to migrate everything, and I suspect it might be better to avoid migrating anything. Perhaps we need a custom conversion script. The status icon itself has become increasingly irrelevant in the last couple of years, first with Ubuntu's sound menu and now GNOME Shell's message tray as means of displaying music status and controlling playback without using a status icon. Recent versions of libnotify have removed the ability to attach notifications to widgets, meaning there's no need for the libnotify code to be part of the same plugin as the status icon. It wouldn't be too hard to extract just the status icon parts of the code, convert it to use GSettings, and put together a working plugin. I'm not likely to do this myself, but I'd certainly accept a patch. The visualizer plugin code was kind of awful, and some aspects of the UI sucked too (I'm responsible for both of those things, so don't think I'm unfairly criticising anyone's work here..). I've got a mostly-complete rewrite here that I'm going to finish off soon. The existing plugin was getting in the way of removing gconf, so I removed it a bit earlier than I otherwise would have. Next up on the long march to 3.0 is probably libpeas. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
