Consider alternatives to PersistentDict #14

Open prjemian opened 2 weeks ago

prjemian commented 2 weeks ago

Use of bluesky's PersistentDict has been problematic at times, as described in these GitHub issues:

https://github.com/BCDA-APS/bluesky_training/issues/300
https://github.com/bluesky/bluesky/issues/1741

Consider alternatives to this file-backed Python dictionary, which responsibility is to remember certain metadata keys (in RE.md) between sessions, such as scan_id.

One possible alternative: The GemViz (and MdaViz) projects have used Qt's QSettings to save application settings (window geometry, user-configurable choices, ...)
