Hello,
I want to convert my application to use GSettings (and dconf) instead of
GConf2.
In the old GConf it was possible to add new keys and values during
runtime. Eg. I could recklessly write
conf_save_int_value("a_new_key", 1234);
and GCond simply created "a_new_key" and saved the value in the
registry. No complains or errors, it just worked. And it was good.
The old GConf-based code is here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~osmoma/audio-recorder/trunk/view/head:/src/gconf.c
---
GSettings seems to be different.
All keys and their types must be *strictly pre-defined* in a xml schema
file. And the schema must be compiled and installed to
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ directory.
Ok, I have successfully defined and installed my schema file.
Ref:
http://www.futuredesktop.com/tmp/org.gnome.audio-recorder.gschema.xml
(a simple test).
And I can read/write the values via the GSettings object. That's fine!
Ref: http://www.futuredesktop.com/tmp/dconf.c
But sometimes my code gets a new key (eg. a device name), and I want to
store it and its value to GSettings registry.
?It's impossible to add new keys to schema (and GSettings) during
runtime? Is the predefined schema the only way?
